Sara Alepin (@districtblissevents) and Steph Norton (@minus510) talk with Rick Yarborough, NBC producer, and his husband Joe. They are known as The Winterboroughs (and have a themed event at their home each September in DC to commemorate their union). We discuss challenges they faced as a gay couple — Rick being from the south, Joe being in the military, laws, and more — and how they overcame these obstacles. We discuss Pride Weekend in DC, how Dolly Parton took part in their wedding, and a wedding planner that had three costume changes —not for them, for himself! — and how their families were able to celebrate their union with The Winterboroughs!
