Longtime JMG Reader Weds In NYC

Father Tony writes us this morning with some happy news:

“At sunset on Friday night, longtime JMG reader Sean Smith (blue shirt) married his partner of 15 years, Kevin Beckford. On JMG, they had read about my policy of asking couples to donate to the Ali Forney Center in lieu of a fee and thought this was a good idea. Their wedding was held at Bongo, the fabulous seafood lounge at 395 West Street in Greenwich Village. Old timers will remember this as the location of the bar Ramrod.”

Congratulations Sean and Kevin! As noted above, Father Tony accepts no payment for performing these weddings, but he does suggest a donation to the Ali Forney Center. Write him at [email protected].
