First ever same-sex wedding at New York State Fair

As Mark Bruzee and David Roche posed for photos together at the New York State Fair, a friend called out to them, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Gosh, I know," Bruzee shouted back. "We're really rushing into this!"

Bruzee and Roche have been together for 32 years and finally married on Saturday, in the first ever same-sex wedding at the NYS Fair.

"We'd been out of each other's pockets so long, we don't know it any different," said Roche, 54.

Between the State Park reflecting pool and the Horticulture Building, the wedding party dressed up white shirts with ties and boutonnieres representing each color of the rainbow pride flag.

Awesome! My wife & I went to The Fair that day too. We didn't see it tho. Glad to see there were no protesters or people who would disrupt! Congrats to the happy couple!
