Married in Canada follows seven love stories, which reveal why getting married is significant for many same-sex American couples prohibited from tying the knot in their resident states. The couples and their families illustrate why overcoming the obstacles to legal nuptials is worthwhile - despite the reality that once back home south of the border, the newlyweds will remain merely 'married in Canada,' with their marital status going unrecognized.
