Surrounded by loved ones in their living room lit only by candles and a glimmering Christmas tree, Holly Reese and Holly A.J. Reese tied the knot Friday night.

The women, who both work at the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada, chose the Christmas holiday to wed for obvious reasons, they say.

“We’re both Holly. How can we do this on any other day?” Holly Reese, 52, asked sitting in front of her orange-glowing fireplace that was crowned with a heart-shaped holly wreath after the Christmas Day ceremony ended.
