VANCOUVER (CP) - Hawaiian shirts, leis and music filled the reception area of a city hotel as two U.S. gay activists who've waited years finally tied the knot on Sunday.
The marriage of Bill Woods and Lance Bateman of Hawaii was also used by the couple to put pressure on the United States to follow Canada's lead and recognise same-sex marriage.
