100 MARRIAGES STRONG



Our 8th Marriage Equality bus leaves during Valentine's week and we have another 15 same-sex couples heading toward Iowa. When we return to St. Louis, we will have reached our 100th wedding in Iowa in less than 19 months.

Wow, now that's something to Celebrate!

What our couples pay:
  • $50 contribution toward their bus seats
  • $35 Iowa State Marriage License
  • food expenses

What your contribution pays:

Other expenses are donated by our friends in Iowa or from our community in St. Louis. For example, every Marriage Equality Bus has a professional wedding photographer who generously donates their services. We've also had wedding cakes, flowers and clergy members donate their typical wedding fees. It's estimated over $5,000 of in-kind services are donated for each bus.
