The Icing on the Cake

Posted on March 3, 2010 in Uncategorized

Wednesday marked the first day same-sex couples would be allowed to apply for marriage licenses in the District of Columbia, but along with the other nuptial necessities came a promotion that really… took the cake.

To make the long lines at DC’s Carl Moultrie Courthouse a little sweeter, Councilmember David Catania joined Hello Cupcake to give the nearly newlyweds another treat Wednesday morning.

The first 200 couples waiting in line received a duo of chocolate and vanilla cupcakes, congratulations and good wishes from the staff and Catania, who claimed he approached the Dupont Circle cupcakery because it was “closest to his house.”

Licensed couples must wait three days before ceremonies can take place.

No word on whether Hello Cupcake anticipates a rush on wedding cupcake orders after the morning’s offering.
