June 7, 2013. The autumn colors in Door County will be even brighter this fall during the inaugural "Commit with Pride" weekend celebration, scheduled for September 20-22.
The centerpiece for Commit with Pride weekend festivities is a special waterfront commitment ceremony on Saturday afternoon Sept. 21 that will provide the perfect opportunity for partnered couples to show their love and commitment to one another. The group commitment ceremony will be held at Stone Harbor Resort in Sturgeon Bay and will be officiated by the Rev. Richard Feyen, pastor at Hope United Church of Christ in Sturgeon Bay.
An evening rehearsal will kick off the weekend on Friday at 6 PM. Following the 4 PM ceremony on Saturday a cake and champagne/punch reception for all couples and their family and friends will take place to celebrate the occasion. An optional hors d'oeuvre dinner reception will also be available followed by a cash bar reception featuring music and dancing. Events will be held at Stone Harbor Resort and are open to participating couples and their family and friends, who are also welcome to attend to show their love and support and join in the celebration.
