"Today was a historic day in our City, and we couldn’t be prouder that on the first day that everyone in New York City could have their love affirmed in the eyes of the law, we were able to serve everyone. I want to thank all of the city workers and volunteers who made this success possible." Mayor Michael Bloomberg, July 24, 2011.
"It was an overwhelming experience to see the outpouring of love and community on New York City's first day of marriage equality.

Today is a great day for my family and countless others." Council Speaker Christine Quinn, July 24, 2011.
