The New Zealand Parliament couldn't contain itself on Wednesday after approving an amendment to the country's 1955 marriage laws that legalizes gay marriage -- its members immediately broke into song to celebrate the moment.
Supporters of the bill, including lawmakers, cheered and then sang, in harmony, the Maori love song "Pokarekare Ana" (singing begins at 1:15) after the voting had concluded.
The new law takes affect in August and makes New Zealand the first country in the Asia-Pacific region to allow gay marriage, giving supporters plenty of reason to sing.
