Major milestones in marriage equality happened and we’re PSYCHED!
A few news-worthy things happened this morning, and two of them concern marriage, and are major milestones in the LGBT rights movement and marriage equality. Now, we don’t have aaaaall the details yet, but we do know that the Defense of Marriage Act was overturned which, among other things, allows same-sex partners to receive some federal benefits and opens the door to making more and more related changes in making marriage equality universal.
Pinwheels, sunshine, and a flash mob dance at this San Diego wedding
Carrie and Alynn created one of those idyllic days where everything seems to glow with love (and a fabulous blue sky day in San Diego never hurts!). From the pinwheel-lined path and bluegrass rendition of “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perry, the ceremony is one sweet moment after another. They celebrated their respective faiths, Christianity and Buddhism, and included a handfasting with ribbons tied by their mothers.
A delightfully macabre Victorian gothic wedding
Molly and James’ wedding at The Gatehouse of Lionsgate Events Center in Lafayette, Colorado is a gothic Victorian feast for the eyes. We’re talking belly dancers, tarot card readers, hula hoopers, and a royal blue gown designed by a Cirque du Soleil costume designer. The macabre theme continued with death tag wedding place cards, black-painted trees, a creep-tastic candy buffet, and a blue and white spider web cake.
Let’s travel to Malaysia for tons of colorful details and an epic dress
It’s always a major treat when we see a wedding from across the globe (in this case, Malaysia!) and recognize our shared loves: colorful dresses, photo booth props, hanging photos, bow ties, cutie cake toppers, and faaaaabulous shoes! Izmira’s dress is like a pastel cupcake with a yellow bow, and Nizam completely matches in his yellow suspenders and bright blue pants.
A sweet and tiny Little White Chapel wedding in Las Vegas
Jacylyn and John brought their nearest and dearest to the kitschy wonderland that is The Little White Chapel in Las Vegas for their adorably tiny wedding. Apparently the cheers at the end of the ceremony could be heard down the strip! The next day was all about a fashion shoot at the Bellagio Fountain and cocktails and gambling at The Cosmopolitan.
Convert inexpensive plastic toys into kick-ass table name identifiers
I’m going apeshit (heh) over this gorilla table identifier we saw over at Green Wedding Shoes. Picture them at your circus wedding, zoo wedding… any wedding that I’m attending (please), etc. Dibs on the bear table!
