The rights include: inheritance, benefits for spouses of employees at private companies and in the District’s government and spousal immunity from testifying against each other.”

Cool. It’s time.
I recently officiated for a young couple from DC who came to CT to wed, along with their families for a long weekend.
Congrats to them and to DC.
