From: BBC News ~ Gay couples wed across New York after change in law
In Manhattan, the first couple to marry were Phyllis Siegel, 77, and Connie Kopelov, 85, who have been together for 23 years.
Ms Kopelov arrived in a wheelchair and stood with the assistance of a walker.
“I am breathless, I almost couldn’t breathe,” Ms Siegel said later.
“It’s mind-boggling. The fact that’s it’s happening to us – that we are finally legal and can do this like everyone else.”
