by Matt Stopera

Relive one of the most emotionally exhausting days of my life, when 138 couples got married in downtown Seattle on the first day gay marriage was officially legal. Wow. CLICK HERE for Full article.

The first time I got chills was when I got to City Hall and saw these women showing off their homemade "23" bouquets for 23 years together.

Then when these guys shared this moment while they were waiting in line to get married.

 I also got chills when these two guys got married.

And the one in blue started to break down.

I got chills when these guys and their huge posse walked together to the altar.

When this guy started to break down.

I got chills when this couple started hugging in line.

 I got chills when these guys exchanged rings.

And when this couple was telling the officiant that the one on the right had already taken the other's last name.

Whenever the couples would walk hand in hand towards the altar.

And when this little kid was handing out flowers too.

And when this lady smiled.

I got chills when this police officer quietly snuck in for a minute to see his friend and colleague get married.

The guy on the right is a police officer.

When couples would walk away together after getting married.

I got chills when this family came into the crowd with their new baby.

I got chills whenever someone would raise their hand triumphantly.

When it got dark and the couples were lit up by spotlight. 

I got chills when I saw the sign for the reception "for all."
