Up to 400 same-sex couples are going for a Guinness World Record on March 20. They want to hold the title for the largest wedding in history.
The event, at Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C., also celebrates the legalization of same-sex marriage in the district, which officially begins on Tuesday. The event will include a mega-ceremony, individual ceremonies and a gala reception.
Mike Wilkinson, one of the planners of the super-wedding, told PR Newswire, “The GLBT community has always found strength in numbers when it comes to advocating for equality. Now we can finally stand together to affirm our love and have it recognized legally by the District of Columbia.”
The newlyweds are encouraged to invite friends and family. Organizers are working with Destination D.C., the district’s tourism bureau, to help out-of-town couples make travel arrangements.
