In this Nov. 15, 2013 photo provided by Sabra Blumhorst, Brunhorst, right, and her partner Chelsea Baker pose on the day they exchanged wedding vows in in Makanda, Ill., months before the state recognized same-sex marriages. That all changes Sunday, June 1, 2014 when all Illinois' counties must begin issuing same-sex marriage licenses under legislation signed into law late last year. "A lot of people have worked very hard for this day, and me and Chelsea are just pleased as punch," said Blumhorst, a 31-year-old Carbondale coffeehouse barista who along with Baker, 24, expects to get their marriage license within days of the new law taking effect state wide.
