More than 80 same-sex couples from Illinois and have gotten marriage licenses in Cook County, including several from other counties who apparently didn't want to wait until June 1, when gay marriage becomes legal throughout the state. Cook County Clerk David Orr began issuing licenses on Friday, Feb. 21 after a federal judge ruled that Illinois' original ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional so there was nothing to stop couples from marrying now.

Cook County to begin issuing gay marriage licenses

CORRECTS SPELLING TO WILK IN SECOND REFERENCE INSTEAD OF WILL - Charlie Gurion, center, and David Wilk hold up their marriage license as Cook County Clerk David Orr, left looks on Friday, Feb. 21, 2014, in Chicago. Same-sex couples in Illinois' largest county began receiving marriage licenses immediately after a federal judge's ruling Friday that some attorneys said could give county clerks statewide justification to also issue the documents right away. Illinois approved same-sex marriage last year; the new law takes effect June 1. However, U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman ruled Friday that same-sex marriages can begin now in Cook County, where Chicago is located. Gurion and Wilk were the first couple to show up to get a license after the judge made her ruling. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green)
