Allison Shelley—Getty Images by [Sarah Begley](https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/) ## Sarah Begley May 18, 2015 10:02 PM UTC Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg [presided](http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/08/30/us-usa-court-gaymarriage-idUSBRE97T10820130830) over another same-sex wedding in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, just over a month before the Court may decide whether gay marriage is constitutional. The New York _Times_ reports that Ginsburg, sporting her traditional black robe and white collar, officiated the nuptials of Michael Kahn and Charles Mitchem at the Anderson House during an afternoon ceremony. While doing so, she was said to have put special emphasis on the word “Constitution” in closing that the two were now wed by the powers vested in her by that document. What Ginsburg intended with that reference is unclear, but it did bring a loud applause. The Court’s ruling on same-sex marriage could come in June. \[[_NYT_](http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/05/18/presiding-at-same-sex-wedding-ruth-bader-ginsburg-emphasizes-a-key-word/)\] _Read next:_ [_What’s at Stake as the Supreme Court Returns to Gay Marriage_](http://time.com/3838101/supreme-court-gay-marriage-2/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3883236/ruth-bader-ginsburg-gay-wedding/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3883236/ruth-bader-ginsburg-gay-wedding/"},"headline":"Ruth Bader Ginsburg Emphasizes 'Constitution' at Gay Wedding","datePublished":"2015-05-18T22:02:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T07:25:50.980Z","description":"The Court may rule on same-sex marriage in June","url":"https://time.com/3883236/ruth-bader-ginsburg-gay-wedding/","keywords":["Supreme Court","Gay Marriage","LGBT","Ruth Bader Ginsburg"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0ed1e3aa8559beeb/69884d185f570f20afb1b2f8/rbg.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0ed1e3aa8559beeb/69884d185f570f20afb1b2f8/rbg.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"rbg","caption":"U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg speaks at an annual Women's History Month reception hosted by Pelosi in the U.S. capitol building on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. on March 18.","creditText":"Allison Shelley—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/supreme-court/","name":"Supreme Court"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3883236/ruth-bader-ginsburg-gay-wedding/","name":"Ruth Bader Ginsburg Emphasizes 'Constitution' at Gay Wedding"}}]}] ```
