He’s celebrated for his colorful costumes, but Friday night, Bob Jamerson, better known as “Baton Bob,” was all dressed in white.

Jamerson and his husband Gary Bender were married in a private ceremony, but invited all of Atlanta to their reception at Park Tavern. The event, called “The Conscience Coupling Coronation and Costume Ball,” included a silent auction, live entertainment from 3D the Bomb, and, as the invitation said, “Twirling and gowns galore!”

It was just coincidence that the couple’s wedding and reception coincided with the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on same-sex marriage.

The event had been planned for weeks – set for the anniversary of Jamerson’s 2013 arrest by the Atlanta police for two charges of simple battery and one count of obstruction. The charges were later dropped, and Jamerson was awarded a $20,000 settlement from the city after he sued the city over the arrest.
