Australia's first same-sex marriage ceremonies took place after midnight today (January 9, 2018), as the new law making such unions legal took effect, according to the UPI website.
In November, almost 62 percent of the country's voters favored legalizing same-sex marriage, which led the way for the government to pass the new law.
Australia became the 26th country to recognize same-sex marriage.
"To be able to come back here and redo our vows and actually make it legal and finally have equality in Australia is amazing," Deanne Ribeiro said after legally marrying her wife, Diana.
