Want to get married barefoot in an apple orchard while a goat tugs on your tux ?
Walk down the aisle in a beautiful , historic church where famed theologian Jonathan Edwards preached ? Dance the night away under a tent on a vineyard while you sip wine made from grapes grown 50 feet away or boogey down in a restored mill building where buttons were made ? Or maybe you want to quietly elope , holding hands on top of a mountain . Western Massachusetts is the place that honors everyone ’ s right to marriage — Northampton was among the first towns to marry a gay couple — and it ’ s the perfect place to pledge your love .
