Dozens of couples gathered at Carlyle on the Green at Bethpage State Park on Tuesday to participate in what state Sen. Malcolm Smith and the Long Island Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Network have said is the state's largest same-sex wedding ceremony yet. Many teary-eyed newlyweds gave special thanks to Governor Cuomo for pushing the state marriage bill that was passed on June 24.
Couples at the mass wedding hailed from throughout Long Island, while other couples traveled from as far as Virginia and New Jersey to participate in the historic event.
