Summary: Former Man Is Bride (Press, 24 January 1969)
On 23 January 1969, in Charleston, South Carolina, Dawn Langley Hall, previously known as Gordon Langley Hall before undergoing a sex change, married her former Negro butler, John Paul Simmons. The wedding ceremony, attended by approximately 20 guests, took place at Miss Hall’s residence on Society Street. The event faced a brief delay when the individual set to give the bride away unexpectedly changed his mind.
