[The Record] Thanks to the New Jersey Supreme Court, Doris Dicristina and her partner, Sheila Dynan, had one day — Saturday — to plan their wedding.
They bought clothes for the ceremony and rings at the Macy’s in Rockaway Townsquare mall. They met their pastor, the Rev. Cynthia Black of Morristown’s Church of the Redeemer, to discuss the ceremony. They tried to obtain an application for a marriage license, but were greeted by a locked door at their town hall.
“Parsippany is locked down tighter than a tuna can,” Dicristina said as she hurried to Macy’s. “We have very little time to do this because we both work full time. And you can’t predict what the politicians are going to do.”
