An Oklahoma lesbian couple will have to wait a little longer to find out if the Cherokee Nation will allow their marriage application.

At a short tribal hearing Friday, an agreement reached Thursday night between Dawn McKinley and Kathy Reynoldsâ€™ attorney and the tribal attorney was confirmed. Both parties agreed to keep a temporary injunction of the marriage license in place until the judge holds another hearing.

The coupleâ€™s attorney says that will give them more time to prepare for the case.
