Same-sex weddings to begin Tuesday

Same-sex couples in Vermont will finally be able to marry beginning Tuesday, and it's looking to be a very busy time for ministers. Under the new law, churches aren't required to perform ceremonies for same-sex couples, so business is picking up for independent ministers. Newspaper ads, mailers and websites are showing up to publicize the availability of people who can perform marriages and are willing to do so for same-sex couples.
