NYC set for wedding gift windfall - 23/10/09
New York is well on its way to becoming the seventh state to legalise same-sex marriages.
And family and friends of couples waiting to get hitched could start buying wedding gifts soon - as the same-sex marriage bill may well become law in the next few weeks.
New York Governor David Paterson says he expects the state Senate to give the measure final legislative approval and he will then sign it.
Speaking at the Empire State Pride Agenda fall dinner in Manhattan, Mr Paterson's statement came as advocates and sponsors of the bill in Albany have been working to build support for it.
The bill was blocked by a coup in the Senate in the final days of the regular session in June. The Democrat-led Assembly has already passed the measure.
Mr Paterson says he will place the bill on the agenda for a special session in the weeks ahead.
