Yes! (Ireland & England)
Vienna, 23 May 2015
England wondered why on earth he had got roped into spending the afternoon with his sister in an Irish pub. Ireland was extremely sulky after her artist Molly Sterling hadn't qualified for the Eurovision Song Contest final with her song "Playing With Numbers". Her only reason for staying in Vienna, she claimed, was that she wanted to see her brother's artists, Electro Velvet, "lose with that crappy love song of theirs". What was more, she half ignored him and constantly checked on her smart phone.
How utterly impolite, he thought sulkily, resting his chin on his arms. I'm so bored, but if I leave, she'll just be angrier with me than usual.
Suddenly, Ireland raised her head and screamed: "They voted Yes!" England stared at her as she jumped on the counter and shouted: "Hey, guys! My people are amazing! Now who's talking about conservative Catholics who are always behind their time? Dance with me!"
England looked at her in surprise as she held out her hand to him. "I thought you were sulky?", he asked.
"Oh, c'mon, Arthur, who cares about the song contest when I've just become the only country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage via popular vote!"

England only hoped no one else in the pub had heard the "I've just become the only country" part while Ireland dragged him onto the counter.

Notes:
As a matter of fact, the British song "Still in Love with You" by Electro Velvet did fail in the Song Contest (it only got five points), but France (four points), Austria and Germany (both zero points) were even worse off.
