Okay, Californians, who's getting married in the morning? (Of August 18th)

Edited because the stay is lifted on August 18.

No one is getting married in the morning. He extended the stay until at least 8/18.

I hope people don't rush to get married just because they can. It has to be the right time with the right person. Hopefully, we can do better than heteros at having fewer divorces

And to add just a little more salt to the wound, the ban is lifted at 5:00 p.m. on August 18, just so the Fourth Reich can get an extra few hours to work their evil.

Well, that rush of happiness was fun while it lasted. Get used to disappointment, everyone. Our President wouldn't want it any other way.

Actually, the order is pretty interesting.

It states that the proponents of Prop 8 have no standing to appeal the stay. Walker basically said the state is the only party that really had a right, so by his view, those seeking to extend the stay lacked standing to do so.

The actual defendant, the state of California did not seek to extend the stay, and that was very persuasive to Walker.

If I was a betting person, I would bet that there will be a bunch of evening weddings on the evening of the 18th, and that there may be some overtime hours at various city offices.

Not California but I have a wedding to attend in October in DC.

And I couldn't feel happier!

Doh, sorry...

Baby steps.

Woo hoo. Glad for the folks in CA, of course. Maybe someday we in NY might get marriage equality too, or some watered down state version of it. Waiting for the miracle, and all that.
