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.

No, I can honestly say I *KNOW* he's not really a bigot. He's just a stubborn pain in the ass that doesn't know when to give up.

It's gone through the courts, and rather than wait the couple years that the constitution (that is older than the US constitution) requires for the people to vote on the measure...which is what "the other side" was calling for all along.... he now says he wants to stop the marriages from happening between now and then because they'll cause "confusion" or somesuch. Even the attorney general doesn't support him on this, so he's trying to go around him.

I'm tolerant of his view, but his actions now are starting to feel like a witch hunt. THAT is what pisses me off.
