Oof – thanks to Elizabeth for sharing:
“Just found out that during the #shutdown, DC’s Marriage Bureau is closed! What the heck?!? Luckily I have a few weeks to spare before my wedding, but geesh, how is this non-essential?? People need this service!

It’s on their website— we happened to look today to get the forms for our wedding in two months! It says courts are open but “The Committee on Admissions, Marriage Bureau, Library, and Child Care Center are closed during the government shutdown.”
