This Saturday, as thousands of Black Lives Matter protesters marched from the Philadelphia Museum of Art to City Hall, Kerry Anne and Michael Gordon exited the Logan Hotel in their wedding dress and tux to a cheering crowd of protesters — and the photos are SO powerful.
According to "The Philadelphia Inquirer," for a moment, the "protest along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway briefly turned into a wedding party" and as the newlyweds joined in on the eighth day of protests, it instantly became a memory they will never forget.
