Happy Gay Marriage Day, D.C.

Today’s the day that equal marriage really begins in D.C., and the Associated Press predicts that up to 150 same-sex couples are eligible today to wed. So, the best from us at V+V to all of you in D.C. finally being able to say your vows to those you love today.

(Same-sex marriage was made legal last Wednesday, but there is a three-day waiting period from applying for a marriage license to getting one. Hence, today’s the first day.)

Update: DCist has more about the first few same-sex wedding around the city today:

The Post reported earlier that the very first gay couples to get legally wed in the District of Columbia this morning were Jeremy Moon and Bryan Legaspi, a pair of White House staffers, and James Betz and Robert Hawthorne. The two couples appear to have held their marriage ceremonies nearly simultaneously, one inside the courthouse in judges chambers, and the other just outside the building.
