Bruce Blackwell (left) and Brandy Wight celebrate marriage equality in the Gainesville Pride Parade and Festival on Oct. 24, 2015. The two have been a couple since 1966 and got married in Martha’s Vineyard on Sept. 17, 2004. This year is special for them not only because of the Supreme Court’s ruling for marriage equality, but also because Wight is 100 years old.
