Poised for ‘I Do’ as Soon as New Jersey Allows

Romance and bureaucracy are rarely a good match. But this weekend, gay couples in New Jersey are hurrying to overcome administrative hurdles, and plan weddings, before a court ruling that allows same-sex marriage in the state officially takes effect early on Monday.

Hundreds of couples have made calls seeking help from Garden State Equality, a group that campaigns for gay rights, on how to get married as quickly as possible, said Troy Stevenson, its executive director. Some couples are expected to be married just after midnight, while the rules will require others to wait a few hours or even days longer.

“Some have been together for 30 or 40 years, some of them like the symbolism of the early wedding, and there are some couples where it’s vital — people who are ill, where a day might make all the difference,” Mr. Stevenson said. “People normally have months if not years to plan a wedding, and we have days.”
