YESTERDAY, THE CONSTITUTIONAL Convention voted in favour of an amendment which would allow civil marriages for same-sex couples.
This is wonderful news for equal rights campaigners, and a step closer to everyone in Ireland being able to marry whoever they love.
Some cranky people might wonder why anyone would want to get married at all, but marriage and weddings provide the world with lots and lots of beautiful moments filled with love and happiness.
