Finally the conclusion in NY!

NEW YORK/NIAGARA FALLS, New York (Reuters) - Wedding fever hit New York on Sunday, as hundreds of gay and lesbian couples lined up to be married on the first day that same-sex marriage was legal in the state.

In western New York, two grandmothers became the state's first legally wed same-sex couple, one month after Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a law making New York the nation's sixth, and largest, state to allow gay marriage.

Kitty Lambert, 54, and Cheryle Rudd, 53, from Buffalo, New York, were married just after midnight at Niagara Falls' State Park's Luna Island, with the traditional honeymoon capital Niagara Falls as a backdrop.

Lambert, an art gallery manager, choked up during the religious service, answering "Yes, yes, yes!" when asked if she was making the choice of her own free will.

"We're achieving that real American dream to be treated like everybody else and be protected under all those laws," Lambert said later.

The women danced on stage after being married to pop star Lady Gaga's "The Edge of Glory."
