While New York's top court ruled a year ago against same-sex marriages, Judaism's Conservative movement in December voted to allow the ordination of gay rabbis and the celebration of same-sex commitment ceremonies. So Cohen and Margolius will have a Conservative Jewish ceremony but not get a state marriage license. Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum, Cohen's boss, will officiate, and she said she's heard there's a state law prohibiting clergy from performing a religious wedding ceremony without the legal component. "I'd be delighted if Robert Morgenthau decided to arrest me," Kleinbaum laughed. Of course, he's not invited. —Susan Avery
