First same-sex couple marries in Indiana

Craig Bowen and Jake Miller marry in Indianapolis

Upon issuance of Judge Richard Young's ruling that banning same-sex marriage in Indiana was unconstitutional, couples began getting immediately as there was no stay on the ruling.

From the Indianapolis Star:

Marion County Clerk Beth White said she is prepared to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples in her office at the City-County Building in Downtown Indianapolis.

"Chief Judge Richard Young's decision on marriage equality sets forth a clear course of action for this office to follow regarding same-sex marriage licenses. It is my responsibility to uphold court rulings that impact this office and that is what I will do," White said in a release.

Craig Bowen and Jake Miller were the first couple to get their marriage license in Indianapolis.
