“At 12:01 this morning, dozens of gay couples were joined in matrimony
as New Jersey became the 14th state to allow same-sex marriage. From
city hall in Newark to the boardwalk in Asbury Park, pairs of brides and
grooms tied the knot in joyous ceremonies that celebrated love while
mindful of their newly granted legal status,” the Newark Star Ledger reports.
Asbury Park Press:
“They were pronounced husband and husband, wife and wife. Shore area
same-sex couples eloped early Monday, when gay marriage became legal in
New Jersey.”
