Two women have tied the knot in Austria's first same-sex marriage, months after the country's Constitutional Court ruled to legalize it.
Vienna's city government said the wedding took place Friday at a registry office in the capital.
Austrian media reported that the women who married at a private ceremony were one of the couples whose case prompted the court ruling in December.
Same-sex couples in Austria, a predominantly Roman Catholic nation of some 8.7 million, have been allowed to enter into civil partnerships since 2010. All will be able to marry starting 1 Jan.
The five couples involved in the court case were allowed to marry earlier.
On Thursday, the parties in Austria's center-right governing coalition announced they were giving up their resistance to same-sex marriage and accepting the court ruling.
