lgbt couples, where you at?

Hey, fam! Josh and Jian here. Our story started back in 2012 in Shanghai. I (Josh) was living and working overseas and came across this cutie Smiley love who stole my heart. He’s sweet, patient, caring, kind, and a big nerd...I like smart dudes.

Since then we’ve sailed stormy seas together and last year we decided to it to the next level and get married Smiley ring . I petitioned for Jian’s K1 visa (think 90 Day Fiance) and we have booked The Hacienda for our October 5, 2019 wedding.

We want to share our Smiley heart and happiness with you all.

Share your stories and your wedding plans with us. We need ideals!

(Non-LGBT welcomes too!)

    JIan’s best friend is also going through the CR1 process. It’s definitely an exercise in patience and dedication.

    Congratulations on your date and marriage. Smiley heart

    I met my lovely future wife at our old job. She was with someone at the time. We talked a little. They broke up and we got closer. She got with someone else because she didnt think I was gay 😂 eventually those 2 ended.. she and I got together after. A year later we got engaged. A year after we are getting married in May 4th 😍

    Congratulations!!! Beautiful couple. ❤️ I love The Hacienda. Gorgeous restaurant! I attended a wedding there and was hoping to have mine there but didn’t want to copy my friends, lol. Their tortellini is SOOO good. I’m still thinking of that dish. 😋 congrats again. Smiley smile

    That’s a really good question...I don’t know. Lol

    i don’t really want to go the tux route. Jian is happy either way and wants to rent something because he won’t have much use for a suit after the wedding.

    ive started looking at tailors and suit styles I think we’d like.

    Now that we we have the DJ and photographer booked, suits are next on the list. ill keep you posted!

    Last night I met with the DJ. Totally impressed by him. When he said, “come meet me and let me earn your business,” I was pretty much sold.

    I’m going to sign the contract with the photographer some time today and pay the deposit.

    We have suits, rings, hotels, and small decorations left to do.

    Congratulations ! FH and I are marrying in the mountains with a huge lodge for everyone to stay in or camp!
    Were having stuffed burgers with a baked potato bar, and cheesecake for dessert !
    We met almost 20 years ago and have been close friends. I wasted 12 years with my ex husband and when we split up, cosmic fate brought my soulmate and I together!
    Our wedding isn’t very traditional because we aren’t either lol!

    You should have copied! Haha

    I’m going this Sunday for brunch. I’ll have to keep the tortellini in mind.

    Where did you end up having your wedding?

    Two kinds of cheesecake but toppings like fruits, preserves, chocolate and caramel sauces etc.
    we will also have a regular wedding cake that my best friend is making for our gift. We didn’t really want real cake because we don’t care for it, but she insisted and she makes beautiful cakes. So we will also have cake lmao

    Your venue is gorgeous! We still have 604 days left to plan so we don’t have too many details ironed out. A few things we’re sure of are that we will have food stations including a Mac & cheese station with lots of toppings, mashed potato bar (or baked we’ve not decided on that), mini sliders, as well as some ‘grown up options’ (leaner meats and healthier sides). At the end of the night we will send off our guests with a local bagel truck (hoping to soak up some of the alcohol). We have a venue in mind but haven’t locked it down yet. I have hundreds and hundreds of inspiration pictures saved. Here are a few suits I had saved for my FSIL’s wedding that would look perfect for your venue. They are having their wedding in a beautiful outdoor garden setting.
