In California, the bride and groom have been replaced by "Party A" and "Party B."
A marriage license for a man and woman was denied last week after they wrote "groom" and "bride" next to "Party A" and "Party B." The State Office of Vital Records said the handwritten words were an "unacceptable alteration."
In May, the Supreme Court of California legalized same-sex "marriage." In November, Californians will vote on Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment that would define marriage as the union between one man and one woman.
"Unless Proposition 8 is passed, heterosexual couples will be forced to wed out of the state if they wish to be officially identified as bride and groom or husband and wife," said Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute. "This is a major slap in the face for traditional marriage."
