It was the largest same-sex wedding event in the history of the city, co-sponsored by both Hard Rock and <a href=" http://www.olivia.com/">Olivia</a>, a company that "provides entertainment-infused travel for lesbians."  (This was only days after Melissa Etheridge agreed to work with The Hard Rock to promote Breast Cancer Awareness Month). But lest you think that all these brides assembled in one room to exchange vows, the company and hotel performed each ceremony individually - for five straight hours. Afterwards there was a massive reception party, and then the whole gang took off for a honeymoon
