First LGBT couples marry in Miami-Dade County

Mazel tov here

From the article:

A short-notice ruling by Circuit Judge Sarah Zabel means same-sex couples in the county could immediately marry – just hours before equality was set to take effect across the state, at midnight.

Karla Arguello and Cathy Pareto were the first couple to marry in the county after Miami-Dade County Clerk Harvey Ruvin began issuing licenses at 2pm.
