Same-sex couples won't have to live in Connecticut to wed once gay marriage becomes officially legal there. And they won't have to wait.

Spouses-to-be will need only to complete a marriage license application, provide identification and make a sworn statement that the information that they provide is true.

There is no residency requirement under the state's marriage laws, and Connecticut doesn't impose a waiting period, as two dozen other states do.
