Married in Seattle by City of Seattle (cc by)
Various MeFites talk about their experiences being at Seattle's City Hall for the first day of gay marriages in Washington State.
See more photos in the City of Seattle's About to Get Married Flickr group.No two groups were alike, except in the near-universal joy and and love that was palpably infectious all day.
I was also really impressed by how well-organized it was. We were pretty much running ahead of schedule all day, and it was clear that the mayor's staff had made this a labor of love, and really wanted to make sure each couple had a special day.
Made me so happy to be alive at this point in history, and proud to live in a city like Seattle.
