More than 150 same-sex couples have exchanged vows in Arkansas following a court ruling striking down the state’s marriage equality ban. On Monday, a long procession of couples tied the knot at the county courthouse in Little Rock.

Unidentified 1: “Words cannot really explain the feeling that we have. I mean, there is so much love in that room right now, and the amount of energy that is being projected by everybody.”

Unidentified 2: “We had a ceremony about seven years ago in our home, but it wasn’t recognized, of course, by the state. So this is a huge deal.”

Unidentified 3: “I figured we’d be the last state, you know? I mean, I didn’t even think we’d have a lottery. Sure enough, I’d be standing here talking to you today with my family, fixing to do one of the greatest things in the world and get to be with my wife. Now she’s going to be recognized as my wife.”

The Arkansas ban was struck down on Friday, making Arkansas the sixth state to have its gay marriage ban overturned this year. The Arkansas attorney general has appealed, but the state Supreme Court put off ruling on whether to halt the marriages until today.
