The reform means same sex couples now have full marital rights, including child adoption. The German legal code has been updated to say "marriage is entered into for life by two people of different or the same sex".
In Berlin, supporters gathered outside the Chancellery to cut a cake in celebration of the vote which took place at Bundestag, Germany's national parliament.
