Description
The photo depicts the ceremony of the Holy Union of Amanda and Tricia Coupland, after being together for four years. This holy union took place at the Presidential Pavilion at the University of Alabama on June 30, 1995, almost 20 years before gay marriage would be legalized across the country.
The feeling of closeness multiplied for this couple as they “were getting married in (their) hearts instead of just for the legal aspects of it.”
