1st same-sex couple weds at Empire State Bldg.

NEW YORK CITY - February 14, 2012

Stephanie Figarelle and Lela McArthur exchanged rings Tuesday and promised to love each other for the rest of their lives.

The couple won an online contest. Theirs was the first of four Valentine's Day weddings being held at the landmark New York City skyscraper.

A wedding chapel was set up for the occasion. After the ceremony, the couple went to the observation deck for photos.

The 29-year-old Figarelle wore a black tuxedo for the ceremony. The 24-year-old McArthur wore a strapless white gown with a train.

Both work as personal trainers in Anchorage.
