Two lesbian couples have tied the knot in a mass wedding held by Taiwan’s military in a historic celebration. This is the first time same-sex couples married at a military ceremony. Taiwan is the only place in Asia to have legalized same-sex marriage.

Lesbian couple Yi Wang, right, and Yumi Meng show their wedding rings during a military mass weddings ceremony in Taoyuan city, northern Taiwan, Friday, Oct. 30, 2020. Two lesbian couples tied the knot in a mass ceremony held by Taiwan's military on Friday in a historic step for the island. Taiwan is the only place in Asia to have legalized gay marriage, passing legislation in this regard in May 2019.

Both couples viewed their ceremonies with a sense of responsibility towards representing the LGBT community. Yumi Meng, 37, and her wife, army Maj. Wang Yi, 36, wiped back tears as they exchanged rings. Meng wore sneakers under her wedding dress, while Wang wore her officer’s uniform. They each carried a pride flag throughout the ceremony.
