Quick reminder that "Europe" is a mosaic of countries, and that there is a huge difference between let's say, Portugal, Austria and Latvia.

I don't really think there is a country which would be so liberal regarding marriage that you could get married by Elvis or a Machine on short notice amd drunk just to get laid (on the other hand, most European cultures stopped caring about marriage, and donxt need it to get laid or have kids)

Kinda like when people lump California and Alabama together when talking about Americans. Annoying, isn't it?

The differences between California and Alabama are still an order of magnitude or more smaller than between e.g. Portugal and Latvia.
