New Zealand gay couples hold first weddings
New Zealand's first gay weddings are taking place after the country became the first in the Asia-Pacific region and 14th in the world to legalise same-sex marriage.
Thirty-one same-sex couples planned to marry on Monday, according to the Department of Internal Affairs.
It comes after New Zealand's parliament passed a bill in April amending the country's 1955 marriage act.
