The Gossip star Beth Ditto joined the celebrities who wed over the holidays after exchanging vows with her partner Kristin Ogata in Oregon on New Year's Eve (31Dec14).
The singer, real name Mary Beth Patterson, and Ogata wed in Maui, Hawaii in July, 2013, but they had to wait until same-sex marriage became legal in their home state of Oregon last year (May14) to make their union truly official.
Ditto's publicist tells PerezHilton.com, "Since gay marriage just
recently became legal in Oregon, they got legally married on
December 31st."
The singer posted a photo on of the happy couple on Facebook on
Monday (05Jan15) alongside the caption, "Legally married finally, a
year later! Thanks everyone who fought to make gay marriage legal
in Oregon!"
