Ireland legally recognized gay marriages since Monday and will begin to perform marriages between same sex to enter into force the law that allows, approved by referendum in May.

"I felt I could not say we were married, but now I'll ever have the opportunity," said Vivian Cummins, a Dublin 57, who married her partner Erney in South Africa in 2009.
In May, Ireland voted in favor of legalizing such unions with 62.1% of the vote, ending a long journey for equality in a very Catholic country where homosexual acts were illegal until 1993.
