The Plaza Hotel in New York City hosted
its first gay wedding back in June.
The Plaza's neoclassic architecture and
storied history makes it one of the most sought after wedding venues
in America.
The wedding of Jason and Tony is
lovingly captured in a recently released video shot by John
Armendariz of NewYorkFilmworks.
Additional images have been posted online by photographer
Brian Hatton.
“Jason, you're my best friend, my
companion, and greatest challenge,” Tony says in his vows.
“Where there has been cold, you
brought warmth. Where my life was dark, you brought light. Tony, I
pledge before everybody to be your husband. To love you, honor you,
to cherish you until the end of our lives. Tonight we make two lives
one life. We make two families one family. With you I'm whole,”
Jason pledges.
Pointing to the couple's two children,
the priest pronounces the men not a couple but a quartet. (The video
