CONCORD, N.H. - Dozens of gay and lesbian couples entered into civil unions in New Hampshire in the early moments of New Year's Day as a new state law legalized the partnerships after midnight.

Organizers said they checked in 37 couples for an outdoor ceremony on the plaza of the New Hampshire Statehouse — the building where the law was adopted and signed in 2007. Participants bundled up against below-freezing temperatures.

One step closer to true equality under the law.

An outdoor ceremony on New Year's Day... in New Hampshire?

I just checked, it's light snow and 23 degrees there today.
Now THAT is commitment!

We did ours outdoors in December too... on a Maui beach.
Hey, we love each other, but we aren't crazy.

Congrats, NH couples!
Cheers!

How delightful!

Quote:
After making brief group vows together, couples walked through an archway decorated with rainbow ribbons and a "just married" banner to meet officiants for individual ceremonies. As they walked through, fireworks from the city's New Year's celebration lit up the sky.
Fireworks for their weddings!

Congratulations to all of them!
