Is there a place where three people can get married simultaneously?

I've heard on the tonight show that this already exists someplace. And would you happen to know whereIs there a place where three people can get married simultaneously?
First of all, do you mean three people getting married to each other? That is illegal in the US. Even if you are recognized by the church as being married, as far as I know, only the first marriage is legal. Utah outlawed polygamy officially in the late 1800's in order to obtain statehood. That being said, while additional marriages may not be legal in they eyes of the state, they are in some cases (depending on sect) valid in the eyes of the church. Now some other countries do allow bigamy (being married to more than one person) but the US government will not recognize the union as valid. I have heard of some trios, two of the people getting officially married and then having a commitment ceremony with all three, but it would not technically be qualified as marriage.





If you are speaking of three couples getting married at the same time, then that would be possible anywhere. You would just have to get the person doing the ceremony to agree. I have heard of weddings involving hundreds of couples at once.Is there a place where three people can get married simultaneously?
If you live in America, you will have to join the FLDS which is very repressive. But it isn't legal anywhere in this country.
I believe in Utah it is either legal or commonplace enough that people don't ask questions. It's a part of some Mormon groups belief system.
Not in America.
Oh my...
