A couple in Belfast tied a knot in the first same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland. Robyn Peoples and Sharni Edwards created history after the rules changed. The ceremony was held in a hotel in Carrickfergus, County Antrim. The couple celebrated their sixth anniversary and they had booked a civil partnership ceremony at the Loughshore hotel months before the legislation was passed last summer. They told it was a tough fight.
