2 Gay inmates make history as they got married inside Cyprus prison after one of them intentionally got himself sent back to jail (PHOTOS)

Former heroin addict Kevork Tontian, 34, met his Brazilian drug-smuggling lover Wemson Gabral da Costa, 30, during a game in prison.

The pair were even granted leave to attend the Cyprus' gay pride parade last year.

The relationship between the men got so serious, that Tontian, who was released two years ago had to break the law twice to be reunited with Da Costa. 

Now the couple, who share a cell and work together in prison's archive, have become the first to get married behind bars in the EU. 

We dare, we dare, we asked. There is no shame. Love has no shame' Tontian said from inside the prison walls with Da Costa sitting beside him.

According to him, It was an appeal by his ailing grandmother for money for medical treatment that led Da Costa to his incarceration.

He said Da Costa confided his problem to a friend, who offered to pay for his grandmother's medical expenses if only he would act as a 'mule' and smuggle drugs to Cyprus. 

The act led to his arrest at Cyprus' Larnaca airport and he was jailed for five years.
