SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The Supreme Court is expected to announce as soon as next week whether it will let stand an appeals court ruling declaring Prop 8, California's ban on gay marriage, unconstitutional. And this morning San Francisco City Hall is asking court officials for a 24 hour heads up before the ruling, so it can prepare for the expected rush on same sex weddings.

The Supreme Court meets Friday in a closed door session to consider whether to review the challenge. If it decides not to, the appeals court ruling will stand, legalizing same sex marriages in California.
