People attend a virtual wedding cerremony held at Sydney's iconic First Fleet Park, Circular Quay. After putting on a VR headset they are immersed in a real same-sex wedding happening in Auckland, New Zeland. They watch the grooms walk down the aisle, hear the couple's heartfelt vows and see the love of their first kiss as a legally married couple - something that could not happen in Australia. Finally we see the groom's walking back down the aisle through flowers and confetti, a powerful message appears: "New Zealand, United States, Great Britain, Mexico (and so on)... has said yes to love and equality. Australia. It's time to make marriage equality a reality."
