Alabama's First Married Same-Sex Couple: ‘It's Really Bittersweet'<\/b>
\nGay marriage in Alabama is legal (even if not everyone thinks so)! <\/p>\n

After the U.S. Supreme Court said it would not block a ruling<\/a> by a Federal District Court judge who said the ban in the state on same-sex<\/a> marriage was unconstitutional on Monday, Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore issued an order to state probate judges<\/a> saying it wasn’t mandatory for them to uphold that ruling. But in Montgomery County on Monday, Tori Sisson and Shanté Wolfe legally shared their vows<\/a> and spoke with HuffPost Live about the “bittersweet” moment. <\/p>\n

As the couple<\/a> of two years celebrated their new and legal union, Sisson and Wolfe weren’t reticent to acknowledge those still affected by existing homophobic sentiment and laws<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“It’s bittersweet because there are couples<\/a> who are together longer than I have lived who didn’t get to see this day,” Wolfe told host Josh Zepps<\/a> on Tuesday, later recalling how they spoke to a couple<\/a> afraid to get married out of fear of losing their jobs. <\/p>\n

When asked what they have to say to Alabama’s gay<\/a> marriage opponents, Sisson defiantly stated, “Our love has nothing to do with you.”<\/p>\n
