Flash mob hits up Hill Country wedding

ROUND MOUNTAIN, Texas (KXAN) - A flash mob broke out at a wedding in the Hill Country town of Round Mountain during a maid of honors speech.

My wife Bethany Blankenship (who is the American Sign Language signer that starts the video with her speech) had been planning the flash mob for about three months, said Chris Blankenship.

Blankenship sent in the video using our ReportIt feature, saying the couple got legally hitched in New York because the two women couldnt do that in Texas.

However, they did come back to the Lone Star state to celebrate at Three Points Ranch, only a few miles outside of Marble Falls.

After being together for about 12 years, Adrienne Sneed and Claudia Secor-Watkins finally tied the knot.

It didnt come without some courage, however.

Adrienne also had only recently come out to her dad about a year ago when the two decided to get married, said Blankenship. He struggled with the issue for a while but ended up accepting her because they [the couple] are so happy together.

Blankenship adds an interesting detail about the flash mob organized by his wife, who is an ASL interpreter at Austin Community College: My wife chose signs that reinforced homosexual equality.
