Same-sex marriage now legal as first couples wed (UK via BBC)
Same-sex marriage now legal as first couples wed
Peter McGraith and David Cabreza married during the early hours of Saturday morning.
For the first time same-sex couples are now legally allowed to get married in England and Wales.
Politicians from the main parties have hailed the change in the law.
David Cameron said the move sent a message that people were now equal "whether gay or straight", but some religious groups remain opposed.
Scotland passed a similar law in February; the first same-sex marriages are expected there in October. Northern Ireland has no plans to follow suit.
