Gay and lesbian couples could legally marry in the State of California beginning at 5:01pm, Pacific Daylight Time, this afternoon. The first to do so were Del Martin, 87, and Phyllis Lyon, 83, who have been together for 56 years.
"I think it's a wonderful day," Lyons said shortly after being named "spouses for life" by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom.
"Ditto," Martin added.
Godspeed, ladies...Godspeed!
Coming soon to the matrimony calendar: Larry and Trevor.
