"Beware the Brides of March! proclaims event organizer Harmony Vehling, but she's really just threatening everyone with a good time in Manhattan. The Brides of March leans more towards camaraderie than alcohol and is somewhat more manageable as the brides numbered at about 75 total."
"Vehling discovered the joy of being part of the celebration in Phoenix in 2011, after hearing about it at Burning Man and continued when she moved to NYC in 2014. At that point, the group was maybe 15-20 people, as compared to the 100 people that we would have in Arizona."
"Along with her partner-in-crime, co-producer Heather Feather, the pair mapped out a route that started at Madam Mikette's, moved to the Strangelove bar and then to a public atrium where there was an impromptu dance party."
"I have big dreams that I want to accomplish, and each year I kind of check one off, she says. When planning this year, I got the idea."
The Brides of March is a lively event in Manhattan where participants don wedding gowns and visit predetermined locations. Event organizer Harmony Vehling emphasizes the fun aspect, differentiating it from similar events. The group has grown from 15-20 participants in 2014 to about 75. The event includes a mapped route with stops at various bars and culminates in a ride on the SeaGlass Carousel. Vehling aims to keep the event fresh each year, fulfilling her dreams of expanding the celebration.
