Same-sex couples say, 'I do' The Union Leader

Dec 29, 2009

When the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve, New Hampshire will become the fifth state to allow same-sex couples to marry.

As of Tuesday, 39 couples had secured same-sex marriage licenses to use sometime in the new year. The state has been issuing the marriage licenses to same-sex couples since Oct. 3. Once a license is issued, couples have 90 days to tie the knot before it expires.

Stephen Wurtz, acting director of the New Hampshire Division of Vital Records, said that in the last day or two, clerks' offices across the state have seen a bump in the number of requests for same-sex couple marriage licenses.

Gov. John Lynch signed the gay marriage bill into law in June, about two years after he had signed a similar bill legalizing same-sex civil unions. When the gay marriage law goes into effect, couples who were previously joined in a civil union can apply for a new marriage license at their local clerk's office for the standard fee. The couple can also apply for a conversion that would merge their civil union status into a marriage.
