The two activists were married Tuesday at St. Louis City Hall — months after meeting while demonstrating in Ferguson.
They just said YES. @MusicOverPeople and @bdoulaoblongata. Love and protest. #Ferguson
Both Templeton and Ferrell are prominently involved in Millenial Activists United, a youth-led organization that focuses on "educating and empowering" communities.
They were also both active in the months of protesting following the death of Michael Brown in August.
SO much work to be done here. Proud that #Ferguson ignited a nation, however, the work HERE is not done. So I will be HERE.
freedom to LOVE. freedom to LIVE. #ALLBlackLivesMatter
Tomorrow morning I am testifying in federal court against the STL police departments.
The couple shared their wedding news via their Twitter accounts:
Today, in the middle of the revolution, the most amazing woman I have ever met is going to marry me.
2pm St. Louis City Hall
I cordially invite you all to be there at 2 pm to say fuck the system with me. As I vow to commit the rest of my life to the woman I love.
A few close friends were in attendance, as well as St. Louis City Counselor Winston Calvert.
