I watched the DVD; it's "civil union," not "city union." I had a feeling that was the mistake realizing the term for same-sex marriages before they were legal nationwide were "civil unions."


* HilariousInHindsight: If this episode had aired after the ruling of Obergefell vs. Hodges, Marshall's [[RuleOfThree third example]] of his friend saying he's skeptical he'll marry would simply say in graphic text "Married!" like the other two instead of the lengthy "City union and planning to get married pending the passage of legislation currently on the floor of the New York State Senate!"

I added "Hilarious in Hindsight" to mention that all of Marshall's 3 examples would say "Married!" after same-sex marriage was legalized nationwide. I copied the text from a website but I might need to watch the episode on DVD to see if it's accurate.
