I'm not sure how to say congratulations in Icelandic

but I'd love to send them to Iceland's Prime Minister, Johanna Sigurdardottir, on her marriage to her long-time partner, with whom she'd had a civil union but was finally able to marry.

Iceland's gay prime minister weds partner: Wedding comes on day new same-sex marriage law took effect
Sigurdardottir, who has children from a previous heterosexual marriage, is the world's only openly gay prime minister but her sexuality has never been an issue in Iceland, which, like the other Nordic states, has a history of tolerance.
Would that such tolerance could be readily found throughout the world....
