Today is the first day that gay marriage licenses will be legally issued in Iowa. But, it looks like today could also be the first day that a gay marriage will also be legally performed in Iowa as well. From the Des Moines Register:
The first same-sex marriage in Polk County under a Iowa Supreme Court order issued this morning could take place within the hour.
Melisa Keeton and Shelley Wolfe were the first same-sex couple with a license in hand at the Polk County administration building, and Judge Karen Romano granted the Des Moines couple a waiver to the three-day waiting period about 8:40 a.m.
The couple, with a pastor in tow, were working to assemble a ceremony after Romano’s decision about 8:40 a.m. Wolfe, 38, and Keeton, 31, had a commitment ceremony about two years ago.
I’ll post photo as soon as they come up!
