Meredith Baxter and Nancy Locke

Baxter married her girlfriend for seven years, Nancy Locke, in a small and intimate gathering in Los Angeles. All the important people in their lives were there, including all five of Baxter’s children. The couple’s vows were handwritten and they gave them to each other during the ceremony. They made music the center of the event. One of their friends presented a series of songs and played the guitar all throughout the evening.

When the reception came, however, Locke and her band gave their guests a mini-concert. The two really made the wedding their own and they even made an investment in dance lessons so that they could have the perfect first dance. As Baxter used to be in a straight relationship, moving on to another phase in her life was not the smoothest ride. She came out in 2009 after having a failed relationship with her kids’ father.
