Update - Marriage equality in Michigan


The tweet above was sent from the Ingham County Clerk Barb Byrum at the historic courthouse in Mason.  Looks like a lot of happy people got married to day.

And it looks like things will continue, at least for a couple of days.  Check this out from the Associated Press:

A federal appeals court order makes it unlikely Michigan's same-sex marriages will be quickly halted.

Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette has asked the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati to freeze Friday's decision that overturned the state's ban on gay marriage.

The court responded Saturday, saying it wants to hear from the winning side by noon Tuesday.

The appeals court issued the order a day after a federal judge in Detroit overturned the state's constitutional ban on same-sex marriages.

Watch the happiness as the ceremonies began in Michigan:
