At the age of 87 and 83, an elderly couple got married. Isn’t that good news? At that age, couples would most likely just rest and stay in the comfort of their homes watching their favorite shows, cooking or reading the early morning paper. But what is more exciting is the fact that these two people that I am actually talking about are both lesbians.

Yes, it is true, they got married. When California gave a thumbs up sign for same sex marriage, among the first ones to get married are Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin, who are both lesbians and become a couple for more than half a century already. Now that is a clear depiction of love. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newscom was the one who officiated the weddings in a private ceremony at the City hall. He was happy for the couple and wished them all the best.

Even though they were actually having a hard time reading their vows and inserting their rings due to the sight problems that hound most seniors, I could clearly see how happy they were when their long awaited dream of marriage finally became a reality.
