Currin & Duke
Rodney Currin, 54, and Patrick Duke, 53, of Mount Holly, N.C., were married on Nov. 15, 2014, in a sunset wedding ceremony on the Kissing Bridge at the Carolina Renaissance Festival. Mr. Currin, a native of Oxford, N.C., and Mr. Duke, a native of Apex, N.C., met 30 years ago through a mutual friend, but waited until their marriage was legally recognized in their home state before tying the knot. The couple has called the Charlotte area their home, which they share with three beloved cats, for three decades. They thank the Carolina Renaissance Festival and officiant Tony Miller for making the special occasion an absolutely incredible experience.

Richard L. Haffner and John C. Quillin were united in marriage on Dec. 21, 2014, at 10:30 in the morning at beautiful Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden in Belmont, N.C. The ceremony was officiated by the Rev. Murdock Smith, Ph.D.; Marguerite Tucker and Leland Wykoff served as honor attendants. Rick’s father, Robert Haffner, escorted the grooms. Rick’s mother, Patricia, and John’s parents, Katherine and Grady, are deceased. John and Rick wish to thank the many people who extended their best wishes and who, in lieu of gifts, generously contributed to the Gay Men’s Chorus of Charlotte in their honor.
