The Dutch capital marked the 25th anniversary of the world's first gay marriages with three same-sex couples tying the knot at City Hall early Wednesday.
The celebration, conducted by Mayor Femke Halsema just after midnight, came a quarter of a century after one of her predecessors, Job Cohen, married four couples in a landmark ceremony for LGBTQ+ rights that paved the way for similar legislation in nearly 40 countries around the world.
