WYOMING: Governor Will Not Appeal, Marriages To Commence By Friday

“This result is contrary to my personal beliefs and those of many others. As in all matters, I respect the role of the courts and the ruling of the Court. While this is not the result I and others would have hoped, I recognize people have different points of view and I hope all citizens agree, we are bound by the law.” – Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead, in a statement announcing that he will not appeal today’s ruling. That notice will be delivered to the court “no later than Thursday, October 23, 2014, at 5:00 p.m.” – which is when the stay expires. Wyoming has no waiting period to marry. Done and done.
