Three years ago this week, California couples were given the green light to get married after the state Supreme Court ruled that barring same-sex couples from marrying was unconstitutional. From Yreka to Chula Vista, lesbian and gay couples put on their nicest duds and exchanged vows on June 17, 2008. (On the day before, a select few couples were able to get married.) Here we celebrate Californian couples' unions, with prospects of repeating Marriage Day in the future, depending on the outcome of the Proposition 8 trial.
