Mayor Eric Papenfuse preforms two weddings Friday afternoon in city hall.

As released by the office of the Mayor:

HARRISBURG - Mayor Eric Papenfuse will preside over a double wedding ceremony at 4 p.m. Friday in the atrium of the MLK Government Center, 10 N. Second St., Harrisburg, PA.

Both couples wanted to make history by being the first wedding of the new Mayor’s term.

“Since both couples felt so strongly that they wanted to be the first, we worked out a compromise to marry them both in the same ceremony,” Papenfuse said. “I am honored to join both couples in marriage.”

The couples are: Jessamy Rose Birch and Brandon James Ross; and Grace Sinkler and Brian Douglas.
