Stop Flirting And Make A Commitment

As anyone in the Bull City will tell you, people who love Durham love the city with a fierce passion. Marry Durham says: what more wonderful way to celebrate this passion than a wedding between the city and the people who love it?!

On Saturday, March 19, 2011, Marry Durham is inviting all who love Durham to join us in a mass civil union, a parade, and a reception to affirm our dedication and devotion to the Bull City! Our vows will include commitments to keeping our streets clean and safe, protecting our natural resources, shopping locally, supporting the arts and local non-profit organizations, cherishing diversity, and electing responsible leaders.

All proceeds from Marry Durham will benefit five Durham-based non-profit organizations.

This will be a truly lighthearted, diverse, inclusive and homegrown Durham event, intended to celebrate love and affirm our civic pride. We citizens of Durham have flirted long enough, and it’s time to put a ring on it!
