From Huffington Post, where you can read the full story:
Gay marriage is now legal in England and Wales after the government’s Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill was granted Royal Assent on Wednesday afternoon.
The passage of the historic piece of legislation, that split the Conservative Party down the middle, means gay couples will be able to wed from around the summer of 2014.
Peers approved the Bill on Monday and it was rubber stamped by MPs on Tuesday. News that the Bill had become law today was greeted with cheers in both chambers.
