Even as LGBT
activists across the country continue to protest the loss of
same-sex couples' right to marry in California, gay couples
in Connecticut are preparing to hit the altar.
Superior court judge Jonathan Silbert is scheduled to
enter a final judgment on the state's gay marriage
case Wednesday morning, the Associated Press reports.
Same-sex couples will then be immediately eligible to pick
up their marriage licenses, and some reportedly plan
to take their vows straightaway.

Judge jonathan Silbert entered a final judgment Wednesday
morning on the state's gay marriage case, which was decided
by the Connecticut court in a 4-3 ruling on October 10
that legalized same-sex marriage, reports the
Associated Press. Following the judgment, gay couples
were immediately eligible to pick up their marriage
licenses.

According to the
AP, Connecticut's health department has retooled their
marriage applications with two boxes marked
"bride/groom/spouse" in place of two separate sections
that had previously been marked "bride" and "groom."
Connecticut and
Massachusetts are currently the only two states in the
nation where same-sex couples can legally marry. (The
