So you need a program for your LGBT wedding: our funniest wedding program goes same-sex

Jayme and Sondra found inspiration in the “So you’re going to sit through a wedding” program, but customized it to include some same sex wedding-related questions that were inevitably going to arise. They titled it, “So you’re going to sit through your (first, probably) two-bride wedding.” They addressed the ceremony legality, ceremony length, and of course, where are the rainbows?!

Karli & Michelle’s canyon-top autumn elopement

Feast your eyes on this testament to the golden hour — a sunset elopement on a cliff in California, complete with a walk down memory lane. It’s a sight for sore eyes, as is this adorable pair. They may have scaled their wedding down to eight guests, a dog, and this scenery, but it’s huge on love.

Warrior Brides of the 21st century: No more resting in bubbles of wedding planning privilege

I am a Caucasian, cisgender, homosexual woman. My fiancé is transgender. Xe was assigned-female-at-birth but identifies as genderqueer and uses the gender neutral pronouns xe/xyr/xem. No one ever uses xyr correct pronouns unless they are explicitly told to use them and even then some people flat-out refuse. So what do we do about it? I am done sitting in my bubble of privilege. I am popping my bubble, donning the outfit of a warrior bride (think chainmail veil), and taking my vocal sword into the crowd and to my wedding!

Jayme & Sondra’s rustic blended family wedding

Two brides, two children, and all of us looking at them like the heart-eyed emoticon. With a gorgeous estate backdrop and only 30 days to plan, this wedding came together like gangbusters. And when you hear what the brides’ son did after the ceremony, you just might join our collective “aww.”
