Sun, fun and Fort Lauderdale – and a busy place for marriages.

In Florida, Broward County ranks only behind Miami-Dade in the number of marriage licenses issued each year. Was your date among those tying that knot?

 
Escambia County issued more marriage licenses
(2,681) last year than any Florida Panhandle county, Florida statistics show.

But, for date inspectors, it's the features of the special marriage search from the Escambia County Circuit Court Clerk's Office that makes it one of the best of its kind in Florida.

Interesting insights from Janesville resident Katherine Eagan, who has seen the best and worst of online dating during her 20 years of using online dating sites, and from a university professor who has watched attitudes about online dating change over the years. From the story:

 
This story
from Rebecca Roberts of Fox 2 Now in St. Louis describes how a St. Louis County woman's dinner date with a man she met online got weird, dangerous, and led to a man's arrest.

The story doesn't mention the name of the online dating website that brought the woman and man together, but the video of the story indicates it was Ourtime.com.
