Aptonyms strike again!
You may well have heard that during our most recent election here in Washington, marriage equality was extended to all people, not just opposite sex couples. It's a big deal, big enough that folks were lining up the night before the first day it became legal to marry. City Hall was open at midnight, and due to the overwhelming response they opened up the Courthouse too.
The first ones to be married at 12:01 am were Sarah and Emily Cofer at the King County Courthouse.
The judge who performed the ceremony?
Judge Mary Yu.
Quote:
