50 Same-Sex Couples From 50 States Mark Marriage Equality In This Incredible Video

Talk about inspiring!

Fifty same-sex couples of all ages from all 50 states joined director Yulin Kuang in celebrating marriage equality across the U.S. in this heartwarming video. 

Kuang's clip, produced for the YouTube portal Field Day, shows each of the couples reciting lines from William Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 against images of their nuptials or themselves walking hand-in-hand in their respective locales. 

The sonnet begins with the line, "Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments."

"I'm a romantic, so I'd say my favorite aspect of this video is that we get to document couples who are in love, whether they're older and in their 80s, like one of the couples, or if they're really young and just got engaged," Kuang said in a behind-the-scenes YouTube interview. "I really like documenting couples and kind of finding the love stories that are just around us on a daily basis." 

Inspired...and inspiring!
