Last week was the 10-year anniversary of the Netherlands becoming the world's first country to offer gay marriage, it also means a select group of gay couples will be celebrating their tenth wedding anniversaries.
But for Helene Faasen and Anne-Marie Thus, they' were celebrating something just a little more: the 10th anniversary of becoming the world's first-ever legally married gay couple. Yep, Helene and Anne-Marie -- who say they "married for love, not politics" -- were the first gays ever to get hitched (and have it recognized by a federal government). It was, you might recall, a very public moment: reporters were all over their ceremony, which took place at the opening of a photo exhibit in Amsterdam. Congratulations, ladies.
