First LGBT wedding in Dominican Republic - at the British Embassy

Story here

The first LGBT wedding has taken place in the Dominican Republic - although it was held inside the British Embassy. Two men, who are not named in the report, were the couple.

From the article:

Despite same-sex marriage being banned in the Dominican Republic, two men have been allowed to marry in the British Embassy.

Due to British law which now allows same-sex marriage in England, Wales and Scotland, the couple, one British and one Dominican were able to marry in the embassy in the country.
