Wedding bells in Washington: State readies for same-sex marriage license applications
Washington will be the first of those states to put its law into effect on Thursday. Same-sex matrimony goes on the books in Maryland and Maine on Dec. 29 and Jan. 1, respectively.
Under Washington state law, all would-be brides and grooms must submit their marriage certificates at least three days in advance. So the first wave of same-sex Washington weddings - expected to number in the hundreds - is scheduled for Sunday.
