Bride Pride got its start in Provincetown, Massachusetts, the LGBTQ+ oasis on the shores of Cape Cod, when locals Ilene Mitnick and Alli Baldwin planned to renew their vows during P-town’s annual Women’s Week.
With the seaside resort’s quaint streets already teeming with coupled women, the pair decided to extend an invitation to join them in affirming their love. Dozens did, and the ceremony became a tradition.
“Tie the knot. Tie it again. Go epic. Make history,” organizers advise.
“You’ll be legally married — or gloriously re-married — by acclaimed actor, cultural icon, LGBTQ+ activist, and Reverend-for-the-Day, Cynthia Nixon,” the site details.

“Oh—and if we hit 100 couples? Congratulations. You didn’t just get married, you made history. Hello, Guinness Book of World Records.”
