As a ordained minister at the Universal Life Church I'm planning on trying to Marry as many as I can. Doing it for free and setting up at a bar somewhere.
So the law states that couples currently in domestic partnerships can apply for a marriage license. (If they do not do that, their DPs will automatically convert to marriages as of June 30, 2014.) Does anyone know if domestically partnered couples who apply for a license will have to pay for it, since they've already previously paid to register a DP?
As a straight guy & out-of-stater I'm ignorant and curious... Is there any follow-up or challenge for the wingnuts to pursue? (I'm sure they'll call for a re-count, of course.) Any way they can try to get it into the courts for an appeal or anything? Will they be legally able to propose another referendum anytime soon?
My husband and I were married in California and have an RDP here.(We were married before Washington started recognizing out of state marriages as RDPs)
Do we have to do anything to have Washington recognize our marriage here immediately?
So, who's going to be first? I still get teary-eyed thinking about Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin being the first in San Francisco, after 56 years as a committed couple. Surely we have a few longtime couples who've been waiting and working for this for decades, who deserve the honor. Just tell me when and where, and I'll be there with a big ol' bucket of rice to throw!
contract law does not normally permit the undoing of legal contracts.
At most they could rescind it from a set date forward.
But .. they are bat shit crazy, so ...

We all have to live with those photos forever.
