"We thought we were going to have a civil partnership. [Staff at the registry office] said if we wanted to have the marriage, we would be the first ones in Llanelli, so we said yes." That was a then 27-year-old Sarah Keenan (nee Booth) speaking to the Llanelli Star newspaper back in April, 2014.
Together with Danielle Keenan, they became the first lesbian couple to get married in Llanelli, following the legalisation of same-sex marriage in July, 2013
Nine years later, the happy couple are still together and have amazing memories of their wedding day, although Sarah, now aged 36, admitted the press attention at the time made the experience even more nerve-wracking. "I was all nervous," she said. "I remember going there, there were hundreds of people outside, our wedding guests and photographers, people from the press. It was really overwhelming."
