County recorders getting ready for same-sex applicants | GazetteOnline.com - Cedar Rapids, Iowa City

County recorders getting ready for same-sex applicants | GazetteOnline.com - Cedar Rapids, Iowa City: "Her office is getting the new paperwork ready, including an application that instead of listing bride and groom, lists bride, groom or spouse. It also refers to each couple as 'party A' and 'party B,' instead of 'bride' and 'groom.'"
