This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.

I spent the day at the Salt Lake County Clerk's Office, watching and documenting the rush of same-sex marriages made possible by a recent court ruling. I wrote a story about the day, but the gallery above is a compilation of tweets — mostly mine, but also from some of my colleagues at the Tribune — about what happened.

The gallery also (more or less) only covers Salt Lake County. There was a lot going on all over the state, but in an effort to keep this gallery manageable in size, I just focused on what I personally covered. Enjoy.
