On this day in 2015, the Supreme Court in the U.S. ruled that the country's constitution required all states to recognise same-sex marriages.
The landmark 5-4 decision spurred jubilation and heartfelt reactions across the country. From exuberant rejoicing in front of the Supreme Court building to the White House lit in rainbow colours, happy couples proudly showing their marriage licences in Texas and festivities in California, memorable scenes unfolded.
Here are some of the jubilant images from that day.

Todd Stevens, 36, of Long Beach, California, lent his shoulder to husband Yael Deynes, 39, who broke down crying during a celebration at the city's Civic Plaza. Although California had already legalized same-sex marriage, Deynes said the court decision "just hit me. After so many years of struggle I feel validated. I feel complete.''
