Isn't this a lovely story? :D Hilarious to see lots of bigotted bigwigs in the state throwing a hissy fit over it. Not so much in what they're trying to do. The exception was granted because one of the women has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Such a shame that it takes a life-threatening disease to force the hand of the state to allow to people to consensually marry. But it's better than not allowing it at all. :)
