Could March 2 Be Same-Sex Marriage Day?
In a follow-up to the counting confusion over Eleanor Holmes Norton’s 30-legislative day countdown until same-sex marriage, City Desk notes that D.C. Council chief counsel Brian Flowers has done some informal counting of his own, and is currently estimating March 2 as the day that same-sex couples might finally be able to legally marry inside the District. Predicting legislative days can be a tricky business, however, considering they can technically last several calendar days. Congress can also easily end up working more or fewer legislative days than are now planned. But for all those engaged couples hoping to be first in line, we’ll go ahead and agree that the first week of March is as good a bet as any for when you might want to tell your friends and family to get ready for some nuptials.
