The first same-sex couple gets married in Greece

The first same-sex couple tied the knot in Greece after the neighboring country gave the green light to same-sex marriages.

Local media reports that the wedding of Stavros Gavriliadis and Dimitris Elefsiniotis took place on Saturday night.

As Gavriliadis confirmed to the media, this is the first gay wedding in Greece.
The announcement of their wedding was made public on Friday, February 16, hours after the Hellenic Parliament passed the bill with 176 votes in favor.

We recall that Greece has become the first country with a majority of Orthodox Christians to legalize same-sex marriages. Same-sex couples will now be legally allowed to adopt children after Thursday's 176-76 vote in parliament.
