In a history making decision by the US Supreme Court, all states are legally required to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples. In Savannah, Christie and Kindra Baer became the first same-sex couple to get a license.

Christie and Kindra Baer have been together for 13 years and have two children. After hearing the probate judge finally declare them legally married, Kindra says she felt two things.

"Relief, relief."

And honored that Christie agreed to be her wife.

"That’s why I teared up a little bit," said Kindra.

She dressed in a black suit that looked tailored to her tall frame. Christie wore a form fitting sparkling white gown.

Throughout their relationship the couple faced multiple legal challenges because they couldn’t get married. Christie was not legally allowed to adopt Kindra’s daughter.

"It’s very stressful to be in a relationship and know that at any point and time if you break up this child who you have raised as your own could be taken away from you," Christie explained.

They say it feels good to have the law on their side.

As the couples prepared to leave the courthouse, loved ones sent them off with good wishes.

The Supreme Court decision also requires Georgia to honor marriages performed in other states.
