| Summary: | Marshay Safford is on the left (black vest, back to camera); she and her partner, Kristy Simmons, were married next door at Government Plaza after getting their license. Judge Don Davis had closed the county's marriage license office on February 9, 2015, the day a federal court ruling striking down Alabama's same-sex marriage ban was to go into effect. After four couples were denied licenses, they appealed to U.S. District Judge Callie V. S. Granade, who ordered Judge Davis to comply immediately on February 12. |
