A queer winter wonderland wedding

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 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.

Are there any states which have gender neutral marriage certificate language?
