Gay Marriage Legal in DC Starting Now

The Supreme Court denied haters' request to postpone DC's same-sex marriage law, which begins today.  That means same sex couples can start registering for a marriage license today and can get married after 3 full days, so I believe that the first actual marriages will be on Tuesday, March 9.  The AP reports that 200 couples are expected to apply today.  I'm not sure how they know that. 

Shane and I do plan to get married in DC.  I was hoping we could get married on May 2, which is the date we celebrate as our anniversary.  I thought it would be less complicated to have just one date to remember.  However, May 2 is on a Sunday, and we just wanted to go to City Hall and have a judge marry us, and I doubt that can happen on a Sunday.  We need to get more information.
