This is both hilarious and weirdly heatwarming.
I do have one question though. Can you actually walk into a wedding chapel in the state of Nevada and get married with no questions asked in real life? Because I honestly thought it was normal to have to get a wedding license from the town hall first.

"HURGLBLB-*CLONK*"
"... 'clonk'? Kaworu, you okay in there?"
"... I think I may have just puked out my core? How..."
"Fish, I'm positively, almost, maybe certain that's not actually possible."
"Wait, no, bright red pool ball. There's a '3' on it. Nevermind, got worried for aaarGHBLLBLLLL-"
". . ."
". . . did he just say he horked a goddamned pool ball?!"

The state of Nevada has legalized brothels, divorce ranches, enough Elvis impersonators to be a demographic, and speed dating followed by speed marriage. If you can think of it, they've done it- because what happens in Vegas never stays in Vegas.

There is that, yes.
And is it just me, or does every fic with the "this is al Strypgia's fault" tag have at least one "Holy crap what the hell happened last night?" scene? Because I rather like the idea of it becoming a running gag like Kaworu getting kicked in the balls.

Very few questions, as I understand it. Mainly making sure everybody is in their right mind and none of the witness have a shotgun.

It's not like a wedding license takes that much effort, though; it's basically a form-letter stating that a county employee has searched the county, state/province and national records and to the best of their knowledge, neither of the applicants is currently married to anyone else. Although that said, I didn't test the theory while I was in Niagara, but I'm fairly confident that it's against policy in most counties to give them out if either party is visibly intoxicated.

You do still have to apply for a wedding license; however, once the application is filled out and the fee paid, they hand over the license there and then. In Las Vegas, the fee is (currently) $60 and must be paid in cash.
Both parties must provide ID and proof of age (under 18 with parental permission; which can simply be a notarized written permission slip) in English; if the original documents aren't in English, there must be a certified translation included. One site I'm looking at says there's a 24-hour waiting period between issuance and ceremony that you can apply to have waived by a judge; another says there's no waiting period.
Blood tests are not required, and people as closely related as first cousins may marry in Nevada.

Well, see, there's your problem. You're assuming that A, the guy getting them is the same one as getting married (usually it's a Best Man's job to handle that paperwork) and B, the county clerk is actually doing his job and not drunk off his ass and/or bribed to not run the search. In Las Vegas, as long as the liquor and dosh is flowing, nobody sees nobody and knows nobody either, see?

By law, the people getting married have to be the ones getting the license, since they have to provide ID to the effect that they're the ones getting married.

The length of the work may actually work against it there; it's a lot to license all at once, and thus a big financial commitment, but one doesn't want to license just part of a series, either.
You know, I would have halfway expected that Kaworu's Angelic regenerative powers would have either prevented him from getting drunk outright, or allowed him to sober up at will. On the other hand, I can easily see it being one of life's little cruelly hilarious ironies that for Kaworu to exercise this power requires him to maintain a level of concentration entirely incompatible with a hangover... and him only learning this once he's already hung over...

I'm fairly certain Ya(N)aF doesn't have a scene where people wake up hungover.
It does have Kaworu getting kicked in the balls though.

I don't think Dr. Akagi can cook up a batch of Thank Prime though.
Stoner!Gendo might be able to, but that's... crossing the streams? Not something you want to do in any case without tying causality in knots.
