Live Blog Live coverage of reaction to gay marriage legalization

Just after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down bans on same-sex marriage in all 50 states, the Hamilton County Clerk's office has said they will not be issuing marriage licenses until it hears from the state Attorney General's office.

"We're wanting to do everything right," said Cindy Brown, the assistant manager in the Hamilton County Clerk's office.

In Georgia, the judicial council also told probate judges to withhold issuing same-sex marriage licenses for a couple hours.

Brown said that the County Officials Association of Tennessee is asking every Clerk's office in the state to wait.

"It's okay," said Kat Cooper, co-chair of the Tennessee Equality Project. "This is what we expected."

"So many of us — We fought this for so long," said Cooper. "This is such a monumental day."

Cooper was emotional as she talked about the significance of the court's ruling.

She said the group is planning to hold a celebration of marriage equality at Ross's Landing tonight.
