Any other lbgt couples planning for 2019?

Hi there! We are a queer couple but our wedding is this year, actually in 40 days!! But I’m totally down to chat regarding any planning questions u have!

Hey! We’re a lesbian couple but we’re not getting married until 2020. But I’m here for any questions or advice you need!

Hey! We're a lesbian couple getting married in 2018, but at the end of December so ALMOST 2019. I'm always down to chat.

Some weird queer specific things I've run in to;

I had one venue that we LOVED that we contacted & never got back to us, even though all the reviews said they had amazing response times. We did some research and found out they are super anti gay. So that was disappointing, but we moved on.

We went on a couple of site visits where people assumed I was the bride & she was my friend/sister/bridesmaid/whatever, because I'm more talkative, plus I was the one they were emailing/phone calling with. I just started making sure I introduced her as "this is my fiance Allie" instead of "This is Allie" even though they all had both our names before we came in for site visits.

The big one we ran in to is most places have a big beautiful room for the bride to get ready in, and what is usually a glorified closet for the groom. And we really didn't want to banish one of us, and our big ball gown, to a closet, we just made it a priority looking at places, and ended up deciding we wanted to get ready together in our hotel room.

We're still sort of on the fence about some invites, we both have family that loves us, but is a little iffy on the lesbian thing. That's the complicated place we're stuck right now....

Lesbian couple getting married in October!

Hi!

I'm a gay man getting married this August! Honestly, the only kind of pushback we have gotten is from some close family from my fiance's side, but we're very excited! We are having about 150 people.

There has been a couple of places where we checked and have told them that it was an LGBT wedding and never heard back, or you do research and they are solely for marrying a man and a woman, but we have found a great place and the hotel, catering, ceremony and reception are all in the same place.

Me and my FW are getting married April 2019 as well we are planning San Francisco for a small ceremony.

We are planning a November 2019 wedding. Being a 40+ lesbian couple has been difficult connecting with other who understand. We have both recently come out but have been together a year and a half. Divorces still need to be finalized and I will be officially proposing soon (even though we've already set a date). We have not contacted venue's etc but plan to marry at a local lake so it shouldn't be any problem. Reception will mostly likely be at our church (Episcopal) which is very LGBT friendly. We have contacted two photographers that will be fine. We are excited and cant' wait for our simple service celebrating "US" (including our 5 girls).

We are getting married November 2019. We just got engaged so this whole thing is super new!

We're a queer couple getting married November 2019. We have to be a little careful because we're having our ceremony in Mexico. We've had to call managers and business owners to double check that they are aware that we are two brides and make sure they are okay with that ^^; so far so good.

We're getting married in September 2019 in Hawaii, every vendor so far has been great no problems with two women. We're found an officiant that also handles the ceremony flowers we're getting married on the beach and having a small reception about 35 ppl at a hotel. The officiant also supplied the photographer she's a one stop shop...lol

Reach out if you have any questions or just need to vent.

My partner and I are really excited about the prospect of getting married one day. Technically we are not engaged yet but that's because I'm technically using the countdown on this app as my countdown for when to propose. My partner and I have really terrible memories but we have gotten good at remembering our anniversary is on December 11th so this year on December 11th I plan to propose and then my hopes are to be able to set the real wedding date to be December 11th of 2020. I've been slowly using this app to jot down everything she has said about weddings from her likes to dislikes that way I will not forget the little things. My partner and I have already agreed on the fact that whenever we do get married the only people we will invite to the wedding are her sister, brother-in-law, and her nephew and for some reason everyone I have gone to to ask about officiating the wedding hasn't said no because we were lgbtq but because I had no one from my family at all invited. Is this a real thing? My family is made up of only abusers or generally hateful people and they are not a part of my life at all anymore do I really have to have somebody from my family just to get married?
