Join us for a powerful celebration of love, resilience, and community at our Wed-In and Vow Renewal Ceremony, taking place just before the 2025 Capital Region Pride Parade on Sunday, June 8th.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s landmark decision affirming marriage equality—a milestone we honor with joy and unity. In the face of ongoing challenges to LGBTQIA+ rights, our collective presence affirms that love is love, and our commitment to one another endures.

The Ceremony will take place in Washington Park amid Parade Lineup at 10:30 am, so newlyweds and re-newlyweds can join in the parade right after!

Every participant will receive a frameable certificate to commemorate their special day!
