In the sweet spirit of matrimony, hundreds of couples who have dutifully waited since the passage of the Marriage Equality Act are currently in lower Manhattan getting hitched, and the gleeful photographic evidence is rolling in. We concur with the sentiment of Mayor Bloomberg (who officiated a wedding himself today), who wrote on Twitter: "Mazel tov & congrats to those getting married today, and to NY for marking a historic day." Stu Loeser, the mayor's press secretary is also on the scene, and noted: "Couples 2-6 exit to loud cheers from NYers & angry shouts of 'Stills get out of the shot!' That's #equality."
