The women, with five grown children between them from previous marriages, were joined by several hundred friends, family and tourists for the first marriage of two members of the same sex since New York became the sixth, and largest, US state to legalise gay marriage.
In honour of the first ceremony, the waterfall was lit with rainbow-coloured lights in a shimmering homage to the gay pride flag. Before the civil ceremony, Lambert said: ‘We’re achieving that real American dream to be treated like everybody else and be protected under all those laws.’
The women danced on stage after being married to Lady Gaga’s The Edge of Glory. ‘Serendipity is amazing,’ said tourist Adam Jowicz from Birmingham, West Midlands. More than 40 other gay couples will say ‘I do’ in joint ceremonies at the waterfall today.
