California, US
Del Martin, 87, and Phyllis Lyon, 83, have just become the first gay couple to wed in San Francisco City Hall. The couple is one of dozens to marry following Calironia's reversal of a ban on same-sex marriages.

Mrs. Lyon told a small crowd of onlookers "We are very happy and we're very grateful."
