Brides of March

“I’m not married. But today is still my wedding,” said Marie Suchan, who attended the Brides of March event in New York on a rainy Saturday on March 9, 2024.

"Brides of March" is a pun on "Ides of March" and takes place annually around March 15. Guests wear bridal gowns, dance, sing Madonna songs and have fun with old and new friends. While some brides are married and rewear their old wedding dresses, others are single or widowed. The inclusive event started in San Francisco in 1999.
