You’ll swoon over how these ladies danced into their ceremony

At a Glance

Mary and Emily had been together for ten years waiting for gay marriage to be legalized. Three days after the ban was overturned, Mary called Emily’s mom to ask for her hand in marriage. Her mom’s response was, “Well, it’s about time.” Our favorite part was how they danced into the ceremony that ended with their guests forming a half circle around them. They then shared a dance before the ceremony started and another dance after.

Mary and Emily had been together for ten years waiting for gay marriage to be legalized. Three days after the ban was overturned, Mary called Emily’s mom to ask for her hand in marriage. Her mom’s response was, “Well, it’s about time.” They live in Arizona, but they decided to have the wedding ceremony and reception in their home state of Minnesota at Le Meridien Chambers’ rooftop terrace in Minneapolis.

Our favorite part was how they danced into their ceremony that ended with their guests forming a half circle around them. They then shared a dance before the ceremony started and another dance after. D’aww.

    Such a sweet and stylish wedding! The black and white accents everywhere are great and really make the colourful flowers pop.
