New York, New York | Daily Xtra

Britain and New Zealand aim for gay destination weddings after legalization | LGBTQ+ Destinations | Scoop.it

Recent decisions in Britain and New Zealand to legalize same-sex marriages have given gay American couples seeking a destination wedding some high-profile options. Same-sex weddings will be legal in New Zealand starting August 19. Among the first to be married under the amended marriage law will be a gay couple from Australia who won a contest hosted by Tourism New Zealand.
