It will take place on June 26, 2021, the anniversary of the day marriage equality became the law of the land (as well as Ridge and Kilmer-Purcell’s own wedding anniversary.)For this 24-hour event, they hope to facilitate about one hundred 15-minute weddings atop what they call “Matrimony Hill.”The weddings will literally go all night.What's their new Beekman 1802 product line? What have they been doing to spread kindness? And how are their adorable new baby goats doing? Catch up with the @Beekman1802Boys on 20 Things Plus with @justkristi https:\/\/t.co\/meIpBVvjYH— Times Union (@timesunion) March 26, 2021To top it all off, the ceremonies will take place inside a gorgeous rainbow-colored glass house (pictured above), an installation by the artist Tom Fruin. A professional photographer will be provided, along with an officiant.\u201cThis past year has made us all realize the importance of ‘moments’ both big and small,\u201d the couple told New York Upstate. \u201cWe thought allowing people to get married \u2018inside a work of art\u2019 was a wonderful way to celebrate love, commitment, beauty and kindness.\u201dInterested couples should register here. It costs $100.00. Couples will also need to secure marriage licenses on their own.A portion of the proceeds will also go to the Ali Forney Center, which supports homeless LGBTQ youth.As part of the farm’s mission, the Beekman Boys have a special focus on spreading kindness. This wedding marathon is part of accomplishing that goal.On their website, they write that they hope to make 2021 the kindest year yet. They are even launching a Kindness Council to help make their community a kinder place."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Beekman 1802 farm to host Pride Month wedding marathon","item":"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/beekman-1802-farm-to-host-pride-month-wedding-marathon\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
