Media cover vows of Lawrence couple
Mike Silverman and Dave Greenbaum made their vows for a worldwide audience.
The two Lawrence residents got married in San Francisco on Tuesday, the first full day that same-sex marriages were allowed in California.
Media from around the world were on hand to cover the ceremony as hundreds of gay couples rushed to the state to get married.
“I do, and we’re done,” Silverman said on his Web site. “It was an amazing and emotional morning. Dave and I were pronounced legal spouses for life at 9:05 this morning,” he said.
The two were filmed earlier by ABC News, and their comments were broadcast on National Public Radio, in addition to being mentioned in numerous print and online stories. Greenbaum, 37, and Silverman, 35, have been together for more than 12 years.
