But the marriages obviously aren't legal, so what is THEIR purposes in getting married?

Are they going to come back "home" somewhere like here in North Carolina and try to sue the state so they can be recongized?

Is this a backdoor way to try to get this done?

I imagine the motives vary with the individuals. Some probably want to be married to their loved one, some probably want to stick a thumb in the eye of the people who oppose gay marriage. One question I'd like to see asked is, "If you were this interested in being married, why didn't you go to Vermont, where it was already legal?"

It's certainly going to be tried. If not in North Carolina, than somewhere else. And, sadly, I think that unless a constitutional amendment is passed, it's going to work.

The is the camel's nose under the tent.
