Ah, New York bureacracy. Paper pushing like this guarantees something we'd see a marriage fly under the radar. (PageOneQ):
In a New York Post exclusive, Hakim Nelson and Jason Stenson married on May 26 with nary a raised eyebrow among the oblivious city bureaucrats who not only OK'd the marriage license, but conducted the ceremony, despite gay marriage being illegal in the state.
The Post notes that one half of the blissfully married duo arrived for their wedding ceremony in a dress, which was perhaps enough to fool city officials.

It'll look nice in a frame and all, but once the officials get wise, that piece of paper, will be as valid as the proverbial three dollar bill.
By law the "marriage" isn't even a marriage. All marriages are automatically annulled if the laws of the state are violated. Usually referring to previous marriages and such.
Nice, try, but what was the point?

hahaha... this reminds me of a piece The Onion did about how gay marriage is just a sex change away. Hilarious. If you have a sense of humor, go check it out.
