Depending on how they're defining the boundaries, the greater SF Bay area has a population of over 7 million, obviously just a small fraction are committed couples who are ready to get married right now, but you can obtain a marriage license in just a few hours in CA.

 

We've had quite a few Celebrity special events here in California, & they've been very, very popular. :)
