"Mazel tov!"

That's how Rachel Maddow congratulated Paul Katami and Jeff Zarrillo, two of the leading plaintiffs who successfully sued for the lifting of California's ban on gay marriage—and whose own wedding on Friday was broadcast live on Maddow's show.

Maddow's entire Friday hour was focused on the surprisingly quick resumption of same-sex marriages in the Golden State. She aired the San Francisco wedding wedding of Kris Perry and Sandy Stier, the other lead plaintiffs in the Prop. 8 case, as well as the Los Angeles ceremony for Katami and Zarrillo.

Maddow also tweeted about how emotional the ceremony was to watch:
