June is LGBTQ Pride Month, and there's no better way to celebrate it than sharing these touching same-sex wedding photos.

At the end of the 20th century, gay marriage ceremonies without legal recognition became more and more popular. The first nation, however, to provide law for the marriage of same-sex people was the Netherlands (2001). This marked a turning point in public approval for marriage equality, and as of 2 May 2017, same-sex weddings are legally recognized in 22 countries.

From lavish country weddings to quick visits to the city hall, these photographers have captured some of the most emotional gay marriage moments. Scroll down to enjoy images that prove love knows no boundaries and vote for your favorite ones.

I don't understand who the F can feel the need to say something horrible about any of these. It doesn't directly affect you in any way. Anyone that has even been in love should understand that their love is exactly the same. I'm straight and married and I cannot imagine having to live with people telling me our love is wrong. Our love is no different than theirs. it is something so beautiful and no one should be made to fight for it in the first place.

I had a similar expression as I held back tears when I saw my wife walking towards me in her wedding dress. Love knows no bounds!

These are the ones that hit me most... the ones you KNOW have waited their entire lives to be able to formalize their union like everyone else. How many unaccepting family member and friends did they lose along the way only to finally have this satisfaction? LOVE this picture!

So sweet... with their kids looking on... that little guy looks like he's just waiting for the one on the left to smile or cry.

This picture is so freaking fantastic. It makes me wonder if they knew these guys and planned it or if it just happened. Is that a bra on the stick? Great photo!
