If I were not already heterosexual married, I might have gone down to the courthouse with some random guy just to get a first edition Washington State gay marriage license... Those things may be worth something some day.

If it was your plan to make me cry, you have succeeded. So happy and proud to call Seattle home.

I can feel the happy gushing from each and every couple. I'm loving these pics. Dare I say it, I'm loving them even more than the dog pics Slog had a few days ago. Happy couples, cuter than puppies. Yes indeed.

There was apparently a guy who ranted at a moderate volume for a bit but he vanished quickly. Too many people, I reckon.

@8: I think this means Slog wins decisively against CHS. VICTOLY!!!!

@ 9, just wait til Sunday. Anyone want to take bets on how many different couples will see their pictures on Slog? I say at least 50.

Congratulations to all the happy couples. These pictures are truly moving.

I look forward to seeing updated photos on Sunday, when these people will go from happy to ecstatic.

I posted this earlier in the comments of the 6:00 am batch of photos, but it was later in the day. So I don't know how many people saw it.

Anyone know of any other midnight license-issuing parties? I know one happened at the Thurston County courthouse. Doesn't look like they pulled an all-nighter though.

Now that I've been looking at happy couple photo galleries on Slog all day, I have to admit that what they did in Olympia was nice, but King County is making us look really bad.

Now, it's none of my business, I know, and congratulations to all the couples, but seven months? I guess they're adult making their own adult decisions, but I would generally encourage a much longer period together before getting married. I don't think gay marriage is going away.

@19 yeah but thats marriage and love for you :)

My parents had been together for a few months when they married, gave birth to me, divorced, got my younger brother in a spree of make-up-sex a few years later and then separated again.

Washingtons gays and lesbians didn't get equal rights to prove that they are better at love and marriage than straight couples , they got it to rectify an injustice.

Especially the folks who are 15+ years into their relationship. Every one brings tears.
