    Brides and grooms sanitize their hands and get their temperature checked before walking down the aisle. Guests are rare and typically don face masks. And drive-thru weddings are more popular than ever. Image Credit: AP

    With new safety protocols calling for masks and social distancing at weddings, the clerk's office is issuing about 72 licences a day _ well below the 200 typically issued before the COVID-19 outbreak. Image Credit: AP

    Many of those newlyweds prefer drive-thru ceremonies _ a speedier service that some chapels were offering long before the coronavirus emerged and businesses began moving transactions outside to keep customers safe in their cars. Image Credit: AP

    They initially planned to marry on May 8 _ a date they had engraved on their wedding bands and hoped to keep. But when they couldn't find a county clerk's office closer to the Bay Area that would issue a wedding license, they decided to make the 11-hour drive to Las Vegas. Image Credit: AP
