A performance center wedding in Brooklyn
Amanda proposed to Eliza in December of 2009 with her great-grandmother’s ring, and thanks to the July 2011 passage of New York’s Marriage Equality Act, Angela Gaspar got to shoot their wedding in Brooklyn, NY.
Rainbows all the way down: a marriage equality celebration
We love featuring same-sex couples like Daniel and Sauce who totally know how to get down and celebrate love. And here in the U.S., we have reason to celebrate a little more now that Maine, Maryland, and Washington have passed initiatives furthering marriage equality, and Minnesota voted down a constitutional marriage equality ban. To celebrate these victories, we’re traveling down memory lane to share some of our favorite same-sex weddings featured on Offbeat Bride.
Sophiya & Delphine’s French/Indian garden soirée wedding
These two were born and raised in two completely different parts of the world, don’t belong to the same race, speak the same languages, or share the same culture. France-meets-India by way of New York all the way to Montreal where these two ladies marry in garden with a lounge-style reception and a menu that would give other menus a run for their money.
A sweet and vintage wedding at Massachusetts’ Museum of Industry
Grace and Heather had their wedding at the Charles River Museum of Industry outside of Boston. It has amazing details like old industrial machine ring bearings. The brides coordinated their yellow and green details to match the venue perfectly.
The wedding proposal blues
Despite the fact that my girlfriend and I have discussed marriage and I know she’s going to say “yes” when I pop the question, there’s still stress. What if she doesn’t like my proposal? What if our families aren’t happy for us? What if I stop worrying about whether or not she “needs” a diamond and realize that the ring is not the important thing?
Angel & Candi’s self-catered vegetarian wedding
Gothic and sarcastic weds bubbles and sunshine, and it’s not without its challenges. But these two ladies manage to pull together a self-catered vegetarian feast in a colorful space all on a budget, because one is crafty and the other can cook! It sounds like a match to me.
