Appointments for wedding ceremonies will be available at clerk's offices in Lancaster, the Los Angeles Airport Courthouse, East Los Angeles, Florence/Firestone and Van Nuys. To save time, couples can also apply for a marriage license online at www.lavote.net and then schedule a ceremony at one of the branch offices.
