NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) — Forty-six gay couples have exchanged vows against the backdrop of Niagara Falls a day after New York became the sixth and largest state to recognize same-sex marriage.
Couples wore matching tuxedoes and suits for the 30-minute ceremony, which opened with a playing of Ray Charles singing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”
The group wedding comes as hundreds of same-sex couple across the state begin getting married. New York sanctioned gay marriages starting Sunday.
Officials in Niagara Falls hope the ceremony will nudge the city perched on one of the world's great natural wonders toward recapturing its storied identity as the world's “Honeymoon Capital.”
