Well, they already said "I do" once before. But then the court said, "Oh no you don't." Let's hope that doesn't happen again...
Lyon, 83, and Martin, 87, were the first couple married four years ago when Newsom told the county clerk's office to start offering marriage certificates to same-sex couples. Eventually more than 4,000 same-sex couples were married in 2004, but those unions were later nullified by the court.
Newsom waited until exactly 5:01 p.m. to begin the ceremony and the women were declared "spouses for life" at 5:07 p.m. in front of about 50 friends and family members. Martin came into the area in a wheelchair but stood for the ceremony.
Congratulations to the happy newlyweds! Best wishes!
