Photos from California's Gay Weddings on Monday

Everybody loves a wedding!

Here is the GaySocialites.com California Gay Wedding album.

As of 5pm PST on Monday, California started recognizing marriage as a union between two people, not just a man and a woman.

Dozens of same sex couples tied the knot Monday evening. Here are some photos from the events.

In Los Angeles, Robin Tyler and Diane Olson -- the first plaintiffs in the lawsuit that led to the California Supreme Court overturning the ban last month -- were wed by Rabbi Denise Eger minutes after receiving their license in Beverly Hills.
