We were the first lesbian couple to get married at the national historic landmark Christ Episcopal Church in Old Town Alexandria! George Washington worshiped here and served on the vestry during his lifetime and presidency. Our wedding day felt like a fairy tale, and this reclamation of history for us as an interracial lesbian couple only made it that much more powerful. —Lauren Brown, one half of the couple
