"Calif prepares for busy week of same-sex marriages"

By AMANDA FEHD, Associated Press Writer

"On Monday, California is due to become the second state to allow gays to marry, and county officials statewide are preparing for an expected flood of weddings over the next several weeks. To help absorb the crowds, they are adding staff, extending hours and training and deputizing hundreds of volunteer marriage commissioners.

San Francisco expects to have trained more than 200 volunteer commissioners, most of them city staff, to help marry same-sex couples. In San Diego County, more than 50 workers from other departments within the clerk-recorder's office have volunteered to issue licenses and to keep up with demand. In Los Angeles County, about 100 people have been deputized over the past two weeks to perform nuptials.

"We're expecting a crush of newlyweds," said Mayor Jeffrey Prang of West Hollywood, where five city council members are expected to be deputized Monday night so they can start performing ceremonies the next morning."
