Rock singer Melissa Etheridge married her actress girlfriend Tammy Lynn Michaels on Saturday in California.
The two, who had said they were going to tie the knot at Christmas, released a statement saying they were married even though gay weddings are not legally binding in their home state of California.
The statement says, "We are so grateful for the blessings from our friends and family as we commence our vows, and begin the rest of our lives together."
Etheridge, 41, wore a dressy suit and "Popular" star Michaels wore the white dress, as they exchanged custom-made platinum and diamond wedding rings.
