THE SHOT — Meet Sinjoyla Townsend (left) and Angelisa Young, the first couple at Superior Court in D.C. this morning to score a same-sex marriage license. “About 45 couples were waiting in line when the court’s marriage bureau opened its doors at 8:30 a.m. Employees allowed 10 couples to enter at a time, and had extra personnel on hand to accept the applications. Processing the applications will take at least three business days, officials said. … Court officials opened the building at 7, and handed out numbered tickets to the 11 or so couples who were already waiting in a chilly, light rain.” [WaPo]

How wonderful to see your loving smiles, Sinjoyla & Angelisa, wishing you a lifetime of happiness! In lieu of sending you a dozen roses, I hope you won’t mind if I send a dozen glazed donuts to Maggie Gallagher instead. Each & everyone of you make us so proud this joyous day!

It’s so nice to see happy couples being allowed to get married in our nation’s capitol. Perhaps, with a little luck, this influence will expand into Capitol Hill itself!
