Beth Ditto 1-001

Beth Ditto, front woman of rock band The Gossip officially married her longtime partner Kristin Ogata.

The couple were previously wed in a ceremony in Hawaii in the summer of 2013, but same sex marriage did not become legal in Hawaii until the following December. The pair exchanged vows in front of family and friends, with Ditto barefoot in white Jean Paul Gautier and Ogata in a matching suit jacket and shorts.

In May last year, same sex marriage became legal in the couple’s home state of Oregon when a federal judge down a constitutional amendment in the state that restricted marriage to different-sex couples.

On Tuesday the singer posted a photo of the couple, stating:

“Legally married finally, a year later! Thanks everyone who fought to make gay marriage legal in Oregon! In 2015, the whole US!”

Ditto and Ogata reportedly made their marriage legally official on New Year’s Eve. Messages of congratulations have been coming in thick and fast on social media.
