FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -
February 2007
NEW JERSEY - NJWedding.com recently launched a special section devoted to helping same-sex couples plan their Civil Union celebration in New Jersey, announced Erik and Beth Kent, Co-publishers of the wedding planning web site. According to recent Census data, there are over 16,600 households of unmarried same-sex couples (8,257 same-sex male unmarried partners and 8,347 same-sex female unmarried partners) in New Jersey, though it is reported that estimates suggest that the true count is 10 percent to 50 percent higher than census figures. The legislation of NJ Civl Unions for same-sex couples became effective on Monday, February 19, 2007, and this new section on NJWedding.com contains articles about obtaining a Civil Union license, information on planning a Civil Union ceremony and links to various organizations and additional web sites. The section also features wedding professionals serving couples in Northern, Central and Southern New Jersey who are searching for services for their Civil Union ceremony and reception. "The response from the wedding community to the Civil Union Celebrations section has been tremendous, with wedding professionals such as clergy and officiants, photographers, wedding and event planners, entertainment companies, banquet facilities, florists and more, looking to promote their services to same-sex couples," stated the Kents. "With the passing of the Civil Union law in New Jersey, gay and lesbian couples seeking to become Civil Unioned have reason to celebrate. We want to provide a valuable resource to help them find relevant information and services."
