Shelley Wolfe, 38, and Melisa Keeton, 31, both of Des Moines, were the first gay couple in Polk County to marry under the new ruling. Judge Karen Romano quickly agreed to waive the waiting period.

The women wanted to get married Monday, they said, because Keeton is six months pregnant. They have been together nearly three years.

The couple, who also have toddler son, Baxter, shared a religious ceremony in 2007.
“I’ve had a lot of medical issues. To me, it’ll be a lot less stressful because we’ll have legal rights,” Keeton said. “Really, today is about making it legal.”
