There were cheers, tears and double doses of happiness as BP Marty Markowitz opened Brooklyn Borough Hall for Sunday's first day of legal gay marriages -- and even threw in champagne and wedding cake.
Stacey Minondo and Barbara Tremblay were the first to exchange vows in a moving ceremony inside Borough Hall.
A small but enthusiastic crowd cheered every time a couple came from the Municipal Building clutching a marriage license.
Council Speak Christine Quinn arrived to hugs and applause.
Some couples came out holding their marriage certificates triumphantly, others snuck out shyly. Some came by themselves and others brought bands of supporters wearing matching T-shirts. But everyone was smiling and good vibes were in the air.
