Gay couples from other states will also be able to wed in Connecticut. Because the state doesn't require residency for a marriage license, all couples are welcome. However, the couple's home state has the final word as to whether gay marriage licenses are recognized or not.NPR: Same-Sex Connecticut Couples Begin Tying Knot (November 12, 2008)
