You May Now Kiss the Brides
Even as other battles loom, the LGBT community stops to celebrate marriage equality at Pride 2013
On a warm spring evening, Carrie Hiers and Tonya Cook sit on overstuffed couches in their cozy Northeast Baltimore living room and plan their wedding. There will a rainbow balloon arch, bubbles, and a giant spread of rainbow cupcakes.
Technically, it’ll be the second wedding for Hiers and Cook but their first legal one. And they won’t be alone.
On Sunday, June 16, they will join couples from all over the state and beyond—some coming from as far away as Georgia—in Druid Hill Park for a mass same-sex wedding ceremony called “WeDo Baltimore,” officiated by Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, as part of the Baltimore Pride 2013 festivities.
