Wedding Bells Ring (And Ring And Ring) In WeHo

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) ― Same-sex couples across California exchanged vows and wedding bands today during the first weekend since the state began allowing gays and lesbians to legally marry.

The city of West Hollywood hosted a daylong marriage marathon today, when about 100 same-sex couples were set to wed in ceremonies officiated by council members and administrators.

In Sacramento, at least four couples took advantage of clergy ready to perform weddings at the Sacramento Pride Festival.

California became the only U.S. state besides Massachusetts to allow gay couples to marry on Monday, one month after the state Supreme Court overturned a voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage.

But the gay wedding spree could be short-lived if voters approve a November ballot initiative that would reverse the May 15 court ruling and amend the state Constitution to bar gay marriage.
