Couples Begin to Marry in Washington
Source: Advocate
Same-sex couples in Washington began to marry Sunday following a three-day waiting period after obtaining licenses.
Emily and Sarah Cofer were the first to wed, according to USA Today. Superior Court Judge Mary Yu married the couple, both third-grade teachers, in Seattle at 12:04 a.m. with their nine-month-old daughter Carter present. The judge and her staff members, who had volunteered to work overnight, had 12 weddings scheduled through 7:30 a.m. Sunday.
Hundreds of couples are expected to marry throughout the state as Sunday progresses, some in private affairs and others in large public events. Around 140 couples are expected to start marrying at City Hall in Seattle beginning at 10 a.m.
Washington voters upheld the marriage equality law in a referendum last month. Voters in Maine and Maryland also passed laws, making all three among the first to uphold marriage equality in a popular vote. Couples in Maine will begin marrying on December 29 and weddings will start in Maryland on January 1.
