Premier Rachel Notley officiated a historic Alberta wedding on Friday. Calgary-Cross MLA Ricardo Miranda, who is also the minister of culture and tourism, became the province's first cabinet minister to be married in a same-sex wedding. Notley thanked the couple for inviting her to be a part of their special day, tweeting "What a great day to celebrate the love." Miranda said he and Brown decided to share news about the engagement and wedding because visibility is an important way to advance LGBTQ rights. Our Ricardo is a married man 💜❤️💚💙💛 #loveislove #rcwedding ⁦@ECortes_Vargas⁩ #abpoli ⁦@RachelNotley⁩ ⁦@_RicardoYYC⁩ pic.twitter.com/2RlpbcQKh3 —@SANDRAYYCNW
