"Greta Greens" was the term for quickie weddings without a waiting period. This practice was not limited to pregnant brides. It included brides who were too young or whose families disapproved of the fiancée. It was also popular during wartime. New York is historically known for its tight laws. Pre-cars, folks too trains to CT and NJ...yes, Greenwich CT, Jersey City NJ, Weehawkin NJ. Once city residents had cars it was Elkton MD and Delaware. Later, Las Vegas.
