    It's technically not legal yet...the ruling goes into effect on October 21, though some counties have begun issuing marriage licenses now in preparation for the day that it officially becomes legal.

    Meanwhile, Gov. Brian Sandoval (R), who's a former Federal judge, issued a statement saying that he's not surprised at the decision and will order the state's agencies to comply.

    "The ruling today confirmed my previous position that the State’s arguments against same sex marriage are no longer defensible in court. The SmithKline decision in February changed the legal standard which is why we originally withdrew our appeal. I respect the decision of the Court."
