Description

I went down to City Hall on my lunch break on the first official full day that gay & lesbian couples could get married in California and took photos of various weddings taking place throughout the building.

City Hall set up designated ceremony locations all over the place in the upstairs part of the building. After a couple was officially married, they'd walk down the grand staircase together and everyone who was there would cheer and clap for them.

Many of these couples had flown in last minute from states all over the country to finally make official the committed relationships that they've been in for years and decades.

Outside City Hall were supporters with large signs delivering messages of love and support. Other people brought bouquets of flowers to give to each couple as they left the building. And several radio stations setup remote broadcasting booths there in front of City Hall. In particular, Energy 92.7 FM (the local dance station) brought cake and champagne to hand out to all the people celebrating their new lives together. There was not a single protestor.

It was really a touching event.
