Once it was announced that "gay marriages" would be recognized in New York within thirty-days of a court ruling allowing same-sex unions in that state, droves of residents (and long-time lovers living in sin) logged online in a frenzy to reserve a coveted spot at City Hall to "get hitched" legally on that special day.
When the celebrated day rolls around, lovebirds won't have to worry about getting in line "on time" at City Hall, though, to be guaranteed their civil right to say "I do".
Once City Officials determined that there were too many applicants to "service" that day comfortably (or in romantic good taste) Mayor Bloomberg announced that 764 couples would be chosen by "lottery" to tie-the-knot on July 24th (2011).
The rest will have to eat cake, 'til a later date, eh?
"We wanted to make sure that Sunday is not like a trip to the Motor Vehicles," a city spokesperson acknowledged in no uncertain terms to the prying press quick on-the-uptake.
Uh-huh!
What self-respecting (loving) couple wants a publicity still of their "vows" that looks for all-the-world like a mug shot taken at the DMV?
Amen!
