Congratulations are in order for Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who married his longtime partner, James Ready, on Saturday, making him the first congressman to enter into a same-sex marriage.
Frank lives in one of the seven states* where gay marriage is currently an option.
The marriage was officiated by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick.
Frank, a former chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, appeared live Tuesday morning on "Full Court Press with Bill Press" (6 p.m. ET / 3 p.m. PT).
"He's spending his honeymoon on 'Full Court Press,'" Bill joked Monday morning.
