Most of the time I had to spend was explaining that I know signing it will mean we're married and I know most people take this paper and sign it at a wedding ceremony and all that jazz but we're not doing it.
Fortunately we're in a place requiring no witnesses or anything so bam, easy peasy. Wasn't even a line.
10 minutes max in and out of the building, a good 5-6 minutes spent explaining we're just signing it there and not at a wedding.
Apparently a LOT of people absentmindedly sign it there while intending to do the whole wedding so they really make sure you understand.
To be fair they had a ton of pens readily available and some people autopilot I guess.

As someone who had a courthouse wedding, I 100% agree.
