How To Get Married In Massachusetts

I don't even really have the words. For once. No, really.

Is this real? Pinch me.

How do I become a Massachusetts resident?

There is no hard and fast rule about how one becomes a Massachusetts resident. The Massachusetts Citizen Information Service states, "There is no formal procedure for establishing a legal residence in Massachusetts. Voter registration, automobile registration, a driver’s license, the appearance of a person’s name on a city or town street list, and rent, utility, mortgage or telephone bills normally provide tangible proof of residence. However, individual public or private agencies or institutions may have their own requirements for proof of residence."

The bottom line is that for purposes of the marriage licensing statutes, the parties must reside here and intend to continue residing here indefinitely.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG THIS IS REALLY REAL OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

Be cautiously happy - Mitt is still going to try to get the SJC to delay the granting of licenses until the amendment goes to the polls in 2006, to avoid "confusion". He is working furiously to make that happen before the May 17th start date for issuing licenses, so it's not altogether a sure thing yet.

On the bright side, though, it seems like there's very little legislative support for his attempt to appoint a special AG to argue for a delay in front of the SJC, and the current legit AG wants no part of it, so it's an uphill battle for the governor.

I usually err on the side of cautiousness and try not to get my hopes up. And you know, even if Mitt ends up somehow convincing all of Massachusetts to his douchebag ways, I'm so freaking excited just to see something like this in actual print somewhere.

Mitt's an asshat. He's a paranoid homophobic bigot.

Do I get to help with wedding plans? :)

I don't think I really want any big wedding. Do you want to help with small wedding plans? :)

Get it right. When you're deriding him, either call him Mittens or use his real first name.
