Tomorrow is the big day! DC will begin accepting applications for marriage licenses for same-sex couples.
Personally, my head has been swimming with the amount of craziness that you need to go through to get married in DC. So here’s a little help:
- If you are going to apply for your marriage license tomorrow, be prepared to wait. DC has hired extra staff to help but with only 10 couples a day normally applying, it might be crazy.
- Download and fill out the marriage form before heading out to the courthouse.
- Don’t know where to go?
