Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Tuesday that officials are holding an online lottery to fill the 764 available marriage slots for gay and lesbian couples looking to wed on July 24, when the state can legally perform same-sex weddings.
According to the mayor’s office, officials have already received 2,661 applications from those who want to tie the knot on the very first day the gay marriage law takes effect.
“We are going to make history on Sunday, with the eyes of the nation once again turning to New York City,” Mayor Bloomberg said in a statement.
