Tuesday marks the first day that same-sex couples can begin to marry in Washington, D.C. The first same-sex couples to tie the knot will be those who applied for licenses Wednesday and waited the required three business days.
According to the Associated Press, about 150 couples could pick up their marriage licenses beginning around 8:30 a.m. The person who performs their marriage will need to sign the license so that it can be returned to the marriage bureau and recorded.
Three morning weddings are planned at the office of the Human Rights Campaign, which will stream the ceremonies here. Hundreds of other ceremonies ranging from quick courthouse affairs to more elaborate events will take place over the next few weeks.
