Houston’s Mayor Annise Parker married her partner Kathy Hubbard in Palm Springs, Calif. Thursday, according to a press release from her office.
Parker, the first openly gay mayor of a major U.S. city said of her wedding that “This is a very happy day for us. We have had to wait a very long time to formalize our commitment to each other. Kathy has been by my side for more than two decades, helping to raise a family, nurture my political career and all of the other ups and down and life events that come with a committed relationship."
A small group of family and friends attended the sunset wedding, which fell on the same day as Parker and Hubbard’s 23rd anniversary, according to the release.
Congratulations to the happy couple! Here they are on their big day.
