A delightful community-led queer winter wonderland wedding
“Once Trump was elected, we decided that we (along with our friends and family) really needed a good party to restore some much-needed warm fuzzies.” And thus started a seriously sweet winter wonderland wedding full of handmade bouquets, killer readings, a ring bearing dog, and a gorgeous dessert table (which they almost didn’t get to taste!).
This wedding is super gay! 5 ways to make your wedding gay as hell
It’s Pride Month, y’all, and everyone should be giving props to the LGBTQ community and their weddings. Well, not everyone.
Some folks have concerns about the concept of a “gay wedding” because hey: aren’t they just weddings? We get that, of course, but we feature some weddings where couples themselves VERY specifically want to embrace their wedding AND its gayness. So if you’re into self-identified Very Very Gay Weddings, this roundup of ideas is for yooooou!
This community-centered Catskills wedding stole our hearts
Ashley and Mi’s amazing Catskills wedding was a handcrafted labor of love among their friends and community. Together they made hand-stamped welcome bags and poetry journals, Ashley’s handmade earrings, paper cranes and ribbons hung from trees, collected bottles as centerpieces, and a group reading during the ceremony.
After the ceremony, it was dinner and a sparkler parade led by fiddle players to a contra band and square dance caller. We can only the imagine the fun after that. Let’s see it all…
A poly-friendly and non-possessive ceremony script (with three rings!)
If you are looking to shed some of the possessive wording that usually comes with standard marriage ceremonies, this poly-friendly and non-possessive ceremony script will give you some great inspiration. It’s non-gendered, non-monogamy-friendly, totally usable by LGBTQ couples and cishet couples alike, and sweet as hell. Plus, see how three rings came into play (and the Iron Ring symbolism for Canadian engineers!)
We aspire to be as fun and stylish as this chill San Diego wedding
“It was just an amazing night of our favorite people, tasty beers, and just a ridiculous amount of happiness.” Hell yes it was! This chill San Diego wedding had a backyard ceremony full of greenery, handmade bouquets and boutonnieres, a killer brewery venue, a stop at In-N-Out, and two adorables being adorable. Don’t miss the awesome idea to have a beer + dessert reception!
Keep it cosmic AND gender-neutral with this space-themed ceremony script (+ READINGS!)
As a queer person, it was important to me to have a ceremony that reflected our values while avoiding language that was cis- or hetero-centric. Our spiritual and philosophical practices and beliefs include both Christianity and Buddhism, and we both feel strongly about the value of secular institutions. On top of this, our wedding was space-themed! With all these things in mind, we decided to write the gender-neutral space-themed ceremony from scratch.
