"It will be a truly historic and very happy day," Lee Swislow, executive director of Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders -- the legal group that helped bring about marriage equality in Connecticut -- said in a release. "So many people have worked long and hard to make this a reality. We congratulate them all and give special thanks to our plaintiff couples. After four years of giving their all, they will finally be able to day 'I do' to the person they love." (Neal Broverman, The Advocate)
