In other international news, two couples became the first same-sex partners to wed under the new Argentina law extending marriage equality to all of its citizens.
Jose Luis Navaro and Miguel Angel Calefato exchanged vows early Friday morning in the city of Frias, becoming the first gay couple to obtain a marriage license from Argentina.
Shortly after (they admit they were trying to be the first couple to wed in the country), Alejandro Vanelli and Ernesto Larresse (pictured) tied the knot in Buenos Aires.
Both couples have been together over 25 years.
Three more couples are scheduled to wed over the weekend in the country, the first nation in Latin America to provide marriage equality.
