Any other gay couples?

My wife and I were just married last week in a (surprisingly) pretty traditional ceremony. I think many people had the same thought, it was their first same sex wedding and they were expecting something different from what they were used to. We included subtle hints of pride, like our rainbow layered cake, to help people remember that this was a big deal and just a few years ago, we weren't allowed to be married. I loooved the planning process and I'm super sad it's over, so let me know if you have any questions, I'd be glad to help!

Hii !! I have been to a few gay/lesbian weddings and well just wedding in general! Lol all unique in their own way. First off CONGRATULATIONS!!! I would love to keep hearing your ideas and planning so keep sharing ! Also I love that you both are wearing white dresses 😍😍😍



Do you guys have theme? Color scheme? Going for a certain look? (Like vintage, rustic etc? )
Sorry I’m in like super wedding mode hahah

Hey there and congratulations on your engagement! One of my coworkers/friends and her wife just got married in October. Though their wedding was definitely more laidback than others, they did keep a lot of traditional things! Both her and her wife wore white dresses, my dad walked her down the aisle (she's best friends with my sister so they're close and her dad refused to walk her down ), and they had all the traditions of first dance, cake cutting, father/daughter dance, and bridesmaids on both sides

My wife and I were married almost two months ago. We went for our version of traditional. She wore a suit and I wore a dress but we both walked down the aisle, escorted by our sons who also stood as our best men, 1 each. Her dad could not be there for health reasons and mine uses braces on his legs due to a previous illness, so we skipped the father/daughter dances. We did exchange vows and rings, had a first dance, and cut the cake before feeding it to each other. We added little touches that meant something to us. We had our personalized cocktail napkins say Mrs. and Mrs. with our new married name (hyphenated maiden names), put mini bags of skittles (wife thought it was a cute way to send everyone home with rainbows) in the pillow boxes with our wedding favors, and even used pride props for our selfie booth (my nieces and dad loved the pride flag). Each wedding is unique to the couple, even if it leans toward traditional. There are plenty of ways you can walk whatever line you want to between traditional and PRIDE! LOL Happy planning and congratulations on your engagement.

View Quoted Comment That’s so sweet! Thank you for all of the advice! Congratulations to you two as well! I’m personally not big on waving the pride flag but I LOVE the way you incorporated it. My sisters are begging us to do it as a color bomb, like the ones used for color runs, gender reveals etc but with the pride colors.


Thank you again! ❤️

View Quoted Comment Thank you! So far theme wise we both are thinking rustic and woodsy. My ideal date before we met was a picnic in the park and we’ve had a lot of them since we’ve been together, and that’s actually how she proposed so we’re definitely trying to incorporate that into our theme.


We like fall colors but are leaning towards some cooler tones like blush, light green, etc. Pinterest has been my bff and there is certainly NO short supply of fall wedding inspo!
I saw your date is in November so happy less than a year until you become a Mrs!!

View Quoted Comment Yes I know my FH is groomzilla haha in a nice way he’s just eager and wants things to be PERFECT (but who doesn’t haha I’m just simple so he took over the crazy planning)


LOVE the rustic ,woodsy idea , Pinterest will deff be your BFF for planning and inspiration!!! Have you been to any wedding expos yet? If not check it out online there might be some in your area !! Also love the colors lol blush is always gorgeous , but a light/mint green is like ahhhhh 😍

View Quoted Comment That’s nice! Hahaha groomzilla 😂 first time hearing that! My fiancé has taken the lead on scheduling venue tours, budgeting, etc but I will definitely be the final detail perfectionist when it comes to decor, and the day of schedule.


We have not been to any expo’s yet but I’ve seen a few ads for some in the area we’re searching in. I’ve heard there can be some great discounts and they seem fun! Can’t wait to go to one!

I officiate weddings and friends that asked me to officiate theirs want the grooms, wedding party, and I in all white and do a color bomb kind of thing to end the ceremony. It sounds like fun and I'm really hoping we can do it.

My dad admitted to me after that he had no idea what to expect at a handfasting between two women but that he really enjoyed the ceremony, which touched my heart and made me laugh.

Hey! My fiancée and I are just starting out planning, as our big wedding isn’t for a long time (July 2022), but we’ve been trying to plan our elopement, which will probably happen next month, during our vacation to the Poconos, which she surprised me by booking. For the elopement, I’m wearing a nice (casually formal) white dress, and she’ll wear one of her suits. For the big wedding, I’ll be wearing a regular white wedding gown, decked out with LOTS of sparkles, and she’ll wear a tux.

We’re having our own version of traditional. Some things of our own idea and some from typical wedding ideas. The coronavirus has put a minor pause on our wedding planning, I’ve been still putting together what I can without having to be in person contact.


We like the idea of our wedding big and family friendly but we love the idea of it being smaller and close knit with friends even better. We’re very much accepted on both parts but we want our special day to be specifically about us and not Sensored 🥰 I am so excited it doesn’t seem real most of the time
We’re going with a pastel neon blue and probably white and or silver as our color scheme! Our two kids and us will be the only ones at the altar however We have picked an “I do crew” to help us in preparation and partying. We won’t require them to buy special specific clothing just match our colors ❤️
It’s safe to say our wedding is going to pretty laid back. 😁

View Quoted Comment I absolutely love this idea! I am very proud, but we’re also very mellow about it at the same time-if that makes sense. We have decided to make our own version of traditional and pick and choose what we’d like to incorporate ❤️
