Barring interference from Congress or President Obama, gay marriages will be allowed in Washington, D.C. beginning tomorrow.

In December, D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty signed a bill to allow same-sex marriages in the nation’s capitol. The bill then entered a 30-day review period in Congress.

The bill will become law tomorrow unless Congress introduces a joint-resolution, or President Obama fails to sign it into law.

Starting tomorrow, same-sex couples can apply for marriage licenses, though they must wait three business days to receive them.
