Edith Windsor And Thea Spyer's Love Story Is One For The Ages

Edith Windsor -- the Defense of Marriage Act plaintiff -- has had a big year.

In June 2013, the Supreme Court ruled in her favor, declaring DOMA unconstitutional and marking a major victory in the fight for marriage equality. Recently, she was named one of Time magazine's 2013 "People of the Year", coming in third behind Pope Francis and Edward Snowden.

In her honor, Time's Deputy Photo Editor, Paul Moakley, put together a wonderful photo montage of Windsor's relationship with late wife Thea Spyer -- a love story that spanned more than 40 years. (Watch it above)

The pair got engaged in 1967 and were together until Spyer's death in 2009. In the interview, Windsor opens up about how Spyer popped the question at a time when same-sex relationships were still very much taboo.
