It's totally slowed down," said Paula Rutledge, a local marriage commissioner who runs Pride Bride, a firm specializing in same-sex marriages. Rutledge said she's noticed fewer foreign same-sex couples coming here to marry.

A total of 83 same-sex couples exchanged vows in 2005, the first full year after gay marriage was legalized in 2004.
