They also celebrated the fact that they could actually get married, choosing as a reading at their ceremony the 2015 Supreme Court opinion written by now-retired Justice Anthony Kennedy that made same-sex marriage legal, according to Wambach's wife Glennon Doyle, who shared details of the moment on Instagram.

. Favorite Wedding Moment: Watching Ali watch her brilliant beloved brother, Kyle, offer the most touching, hilarious, vulnerable toast to his sisters. Kyle ended with something like: “Your love is a beacon of hope for so many gay young people, who don’t always get to see happy endings reflected back to us. You are our happy ending.” . Runner Up: When the magical @sydneyleroux gave the reading at the ceremony— which was Supreme Court Justice Kennedy’s decision making marriage equality the law of the land. . A Supreme Court decision as a wedding reading. So bad ass. So beautiful. As Sydney read, my heart pounded and Abby and I squeezed each other’s hands so tight and I cried. . Thank you, thank you for last night, @ashlynharris24 and @alikrieger. Your love makes everyone who knows you braver and softer and truer. You are loved.
