Just in case.
That’s why Ken McLeod and Terry Schadegg say they flew from their home in Winston-Salem, N.C., to get married Friday in San Diego.
The gay couple is one of hundreds getting hitched in the weeks before the Nov. 4 election, fearful that state voters will approve a ban on gay marriage. The couple is legally married but their union won’t be recognized in North Carolina.
The county is seeing a significant increase in weddings and marriage licenses in October, rivaling the initial surge when same-sex marriage became legal June 17.
“We timed it now to be before the Nov. 4 election – just in case,” said McLeod, 42, an internal auditor.
