WATCH: Meet the South Dakota Senior Citizen Lesbian Couple Making Waves for Marriage Equality

Meet the lesbian couple from South Dakota who have been together for nearly 30 and married in Minneapolis over the weekend with the intent to demand that South Dakota recognize their marriage and strike down the state's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.

Nancy Robrahn, 68, and Jennie Rosenkranz, 72, a Rapid City, S.D., couple with four children and six grandchildren, traveled to Minneapolis Saturday to marry, after 27 years together. The couple was married in a private ceremony at the Community of Christ Church in Minneapolis by the city's mayor, Betsy Hodges, who introduced the couple as "Mrs. and Mrs. Rosenbrahn," according to a statement from the Minneapolis-based law firm representing the couple. 

After the newlyweds return home to South Dakota, they will join two other same-sex couples in filing a federal class-action lawsuit seeking to overturn the state's 2006 voter-approved constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage or the recognition of any such legal marriages performed in other jurisdictions. 

The amazing activist couple spoke at a press conference following their nuptials. Watch below.
