After Abby and Ruth stood on either side of Minos, the wedding ceremony quickly unfolded.
First, they said a few words to each other, sometimes making the guests laugh softly, sometimes making the more emotional ones wipe away their tears.
In particular, Nicole spent more than half of the ceremony with a handkerchief on her face, while Eliot hugged her waist, supporting her on this important day for their daughter.
Gloria was also a bit emotional about the whole thing, having led this type of ceremony for the first time, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
After more than an hour, Minos, Ruth, and Abby were officially married when they finally kissed in front of the audience.
It had been a slightly different kiss than usual for such occasions, with Minos hugging both of them simultaneously and then kissing each. But still, everyone in the surrounding area laughed and enjoyed the moment of togetherness of those prominent young people.
