More than 800 couples got married in the state that day alone.
The Guardian has a gallery of eight pictures showing the newlyweds. One couple has been together 51 years!
BuzzFeed has a set of 60 images.
And the first ever same-sex marriage on Broadway took place today, a triple-bill on the set of the musical “Hair”. Check out this video, where the happy couples also get serenaded by the cast and audience at the musical! (Disclosure: I scripted, voiced, and edited this video.)
The other five states that have passed laws allowing same-sex marriages are: Massachusetts (2004), Connecticut (2008), Iowa (2009), Vermont (2009), and New Hampshire (2010).

A new study shows that gay men in
Massachusetts visited a health care clinic 13% less often after same-sex
marriage was legalized in the state in 2003. The result suggests “that
marriage equality may produce broad public health benefits by reducing
the occurrence of stress-related health conditions,” says an expert
behind the study.
The
12-month study of more than 1,200 patients at a gay health care clinic
also found that their health costs dropped by 14%. Both single and
attached gay men benefited from the same-sex marriage law. The study
backs up earlier research that showed that banning gay marriage had a
negative effect the health of homosexuals. Six states have legalized gay
nuptials so far: Iowa, New York, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and
Vermont, in addition to Massachusetts. Washington, DC, allows for it,
too.
