disability

At Offbeat Wed, we know that disabilities aren’t always visible, and that while some of us might be getting married in a wheelchair or walking down the aisle with a cane, others of us are dealing with chronic conditions like fibromyalgia, or other invisible challenges like panic disorders, being neurodivergent, or having social anxiety conditions. Whatever your abilities, we want to help you have a wonderful wedding!

Blind women get married too

I realized that if I was going to be “bridal” in their eyes, I was going to have to change who I am. I am proudly disabled …and I will not change to meet what the Wedding Industry believes is bridal.
