The first same-sex marriages have taken place in Ireland under new marriage equality legislation.
Richard Dowling and Cormac Gollogly were the first to tie the knot.
They were married in the South Clonmel Community Care Centre in Co Tipperary.
The Marriage Equality Act took effect from 2.15pm yesterday afternoon.
The final legal hurdle was cleared last week, when Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald signed the commencement order.
"It feels great Jonathan, it really does", Cormac told Newstalk Lunchtime's Jonathan Healy.
"It really means the world", Richard added.
"Cormac and I have been together for 12 years, so this is I suppose the natural progression really".
The couple say they are meeting up with family and friends in Dublin later.
The pair were already civil partnered since last September.
And the same person who performed their civil partnership also officiated their wedding.
While Wayne Gough and DJ O'Hanlon - from Lordship, Co Louth - married at Harvey’s Point Hotel in Donegal.
Wayne, station manager at Dublin Airport and financial accountant PJ had already celebrated their civil partnership at the same hotel a few months ago in the presence of family and friends.

The happy couple said that being properly married and to have that marriage recognised in every way was 'a fantastic feeling'.
They added that now they felt at last that they were accepted like every other married couple and all that this entails.
