Same Sex couples should get married before November
To date we have married almost 100 same sex couples since June 17th. Couples have come from all over the US to get married in California since the ban was lifted. Get married now before voters have a chance to change the constitution here in California.
The Los Angeles County recorders office has told us that all marriages performed before November will remain legal and can not be overturned. But if voters change the constitution in November then no more licenses will be issued to same sex couples.
So anyone married between June 17th and November will have legal marriages recognized by the State of California as legal and binding. New York state currently recognizes California Same Sex marriages. So if you wait you may miss your chance to be legally married here in California.
We will continue to update our blog with news as we get it from the recorders office.

Official says L.A. County will be ready for gay marriages
The county clerk says ceremonies could begin June 16, the first possible day that the state Supreme Court's ruling allowing same-sex marriages could take effect.
By Jean-Paul Renaud, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer 1:27 PM PDT, May 20, 2008
Acting Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean Logan told county supervisors today that his office would be ready to perform same-sex marriages on June 16. That is the earliest date on which the state Supreme Court's overturning of the ban on same-sex marriages could take effect.
Logan said he would extend the corps of volunteers needed to officiate at marriages, and would seek to open new offices to facilitate the ceremonies. "We expect that when the decision goes into effect, that there will be an initial peak in the volume of people coming into our office," he said. "We want to be sure we're prepared for that. We want to make sure we're staffed up for that."Logan said he already has received a request from city officials in West Hollywood to have the county open a marriage-license office there.
"It's also possible that they may have somebody in their own staff" to perform the ceremonies, Logan said. Supervisors have also asked Logan to convene an advisory group with gay community leaders to get a better handle on the numbers of couples expected to seek licenses. The Sheriff's Department and the Office of Public Safety, which protects county buildings, also have been asked to provide extra security during the first few weeks the marriages are permitted. Last week, justices struck down the state's ban on same-sex marriage in a broadly worded decision that would invalidate virtually any law that discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation.Officials said it would be at least 30 days from the court's action before marriage licenses could be issued. But opponents could ask the court to rehear the case. Even if the court declined, such a request could delay the effective date by up to 90 days.

Common Law Marriage - How common is it?
We are asked all the time, "what is common-law marriage?"
Well the simply said it is when a couple has lived together for a specified amount of time and the state recognizes them as married people. In fact, a common law marriage is just as legally binding as a statutory or ceremonial marriage in some jurisdictions—it is just begun differently.
Common-law marriage can still be contracted in the following jurisdictions: Alabama,Colorado, District of Columbia, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, and Utah. Note there is no such thing as "common-law divorce" — that is, you can't get out of a common-law marriage as easily as you can get into one. Only the contract of the marriage is irregular; everything else about the marriage is perfectly regular. People who marry per the old common law tradition must petition the appropriate court in their state for a dissolution of marriage.
Here in California we DO NOT have common-law marriage. If a couple has been living together they can obtain a confidential marriage license. That license is not public record so no one but the couple can obtain a copy. This is one way to get married in secret and no one will ever know when you were married. Common for couples that have been together a long time and have children together. Often they move here from a common law state and just want to get the marriage license.
In California a woman can not change her name until she receives the certified copy of the marriage license. The DMV, passport office and Social Security all require the certified copy for changes to your records.
