Bride Pride Seeks Guinness World Record For Largest Lesbian Wedding

On October 15, women from all over the planet will converge on Provincetown with a singular intention -- to marry at Bride Pride, a group wedding scheduled during Provincetown's legendary Women's Week, now in its 32nd�year.

According to Allison Baldwin and Ilene Mitnick, Bride Pride organizers and owners of the award-winning Roux Bed and Breakfast property where the wedding will be held, "If there are at least 100 couples, the brides will become part of recorded history. Provincetown is filled with stories of love, equality and adventure and it's meant to be shared with lovers," said Mitnick.

The duo has applied to Guinness Book of World Records in an effort to capture the title for "World's Largest Lesbian Wedding."

After the ceremony, the whole town will turn into a party for the newlyweds as they join thousands of women in hundreds of events planned for Women's Week. "It's the perfect backdrop for a wedding. We wanted to create an amazing experience at a fraction of the cost of a traditional wedding. It will be the coolest wedding setup ever with events leading up to and following the event and, oh, the whole planet is invited," Baldwin said.

Award-winning political humorist and LGBTQ icon Kate "Mad Vow" Clinton will perform the nuptials, saying, "Nothing says World's Largest Lesbian Wedding like Provincetown, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it."

Provincetown Director of Tourism Tony Fucillo said, "Events like Bride Pride remind us all of another great day (June 26, 2013) when the LGBT community filled the streets across the country to celebrate the defeat of DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). What better place to celebrate LGBT marriage equality than Provincetown -- the 'Best Gay and Lesbian Resort Town in America,' according to GayCities.com?"

In honor of those who will marry at Bride Pride, Baldwin and Mitnick will be making a contribution to GLAD. "We want to thank GLAD both for the work they've done to make a day like this possible, as well as to support the battles they still wage on a daily basis for our equality," said Baldwin.

This epic event will take place on the beautiful grounds of Roux Bed and Breakfast located at 210 Bradford Street, Provincetown, MA at 11 a.m. on October 15, 2016. Roux Provincetown is a unique bed and breakfast located in the East End Gallery district of Provincetown, Massachusetts whose owners share a love of art, music, and cuisine.

After a 4-month and 11-day renovation, the inn opened its doors July, 2014. Roux was awarded Boston Magazine's Best of Boston title for 2015 Best Inn on Cape Cod, and is consistently ranked among the top Provincetown B&Bs on Trip Advisor.
