12. Same-sex Couples in New Jersey

Vivian Yee writes her article same-sex marriage and describes the events that happened the last few hours. As the state of New Jersey allowed homosexuals who filled a license on Friday so that they could marry on a Monday, many couples who did so had to plan their whole wedding ceremonies and invitations during the weekend. According to the author, some only had less than a day. Yee describes how many couples did not wish to wait to begin their ceremonies, so their marriage would start on Sunday and they would soon be married by midnight.

Yee uses a formal and informative tone in her article. However, she quotes many couples who recently married and describes the process of organizing their ceremony. By doing so, she indirectly makes the audience sympathize with the event and couples who got married.
