Prop. 8’s Kris Perry, Sandy Stier Renew Wedding Vows at 20,000 Feet

Kris Perry and Sandy Stier, the original plaintiffs in the lawsuit that overturned California’s Proposition 8 that banned marriage equality, celebrated the 10th anniversary of their historic wedding by renewing their vows this past weekend onboard an Air Tahiti Nui Dreamliner en route to a second honeymoon in beautiful Tahiti and Bora Bora.

“We’re delighted to celebrate ten years of marriage and equality, as well as tens of thousands of LGBTQ couples, in a place that has a legacy of embracing all of us,” Perry said in a statement.

Perry and Stier first married in 2013 after the U.S. Supreme Court let stand a lower court ruling finding the 2008 proposition unconstitutional in the pair’s landmark Perry vs. Hollingsworth case. Prop. 8, which passed by a vote of 52.24 percent in favor to 47.76 opposed, changed the state’s constitution to include, “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”

California’s attorney general at the time and the current vice president, Kamala Harris, performed the ceremony on the same day the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit lifted a 25-day waiting period on marriage equality following the Supreme Court’s decision. Instead of a future vice president, the June 3 renewal ceremony featured gay-identified chief purser Rodrigue Chan in the Boeing 787’s Poerava Business cabin.

“Air Tahiti Nui is honored to host Kris and Sandy’s vow renewal ceremony in-flight as part of their dream anniversary getaway in one of the most inclusive destinations in the world,” said Caroline Borawski, Air Tahiti Nui’s Vice President of the Americas. “The Islands of Tahiti are known for their incredible hospitality for all people, and Air Tahiti Nui is proud to be a part of that culture that not only accepts but celebrates LGBTQIA+ individuals and their contributions to a more equitable future.”
