Incorporating a March for Science tribute at the wedding

How do I incorporate the March for Science into my Earth Day wedding?

I am getting married on Earth Day this year, the same day as the March for Science. It’s too late to change our wedding date. But I am sad that we will not be downtown at the Scientists’ March, demonstrating for something so crucially important. Do you have ideas for how we can be a part of the march, even though we’ll be out in the woods in Southern Maryland?

With the help of their friends and family, Rhiannon and Joe completely transformed their own backyard into a magical space for their Whidbey Island cosmos wedding.

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.
