Same-sex couples eager for N.J. high-court marriage ruling

Nina Scarpa, 63, a retired teacher from Merchantville, said she went to her municipal office last week to get a marriage-license application for herself and her longtime partner, Denise Menzel, 60, a nurse. She said she was told, however, that she could not yet get one, by directive of the state. Scarpa said she and Menzel want to wed “as soon as possible. Hey, we’ve been waiting 35 years.” http://bit.ly/15Uge1D
