An Australian MP has wed his partner, three months after proposing to him in parliament during a debate on legalising same-sex marriage.
Government MP Tim Wilson and Ryan Bolger celebrated their "special day" on Sunday, the politician said online.
Australian MPs voted to legalise same-sex marriage in December.
Earlier that month, Mr Wilson had become the first MP to make a marriage proposal in the House of Representatives.
Mr Wilson and Mr Bolger, who have been together for more than a decade, were married in Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens.
The MP's tweet attracted messages of congratulations from parliamentarians and others on social media.
In his December speech, Mr Wilson was arguing for same-sex marriage when he turned to address Mr Bolger, who was sitting in the public gallery.
