But are they really married?

[figmo]

From the Friday, February 13th edition of the San Jose Mercury News:

State officials responsible for recording nuptials said Friday [February 13th] that they will accept only standard license forms, which use "an unmarried man" and "an unmarried woman."

If a form is altered or not completed correctly, "It would be returned to the county," said Terri Delgadillo, a deputy health secretary. "We would not record it at the state level."

Re: Marriage Licenses

Equally fun to watch has been the interplay between the governor "ordering" Lockyer to put a halt to it and Lockyer going, "Uh, excuse me, but you don't have the authority to "order" me to do anything."

Lockyer has come out saying he's against the state law that makes marriage "one man, one woman," but would uphold the law as it exists. IMHO Arnold's "order" gave Lockyer the excuse he'd wanted to drag his heels. Hee. I want the popcorn concession.
