Here’s how I’m planning a Southern, intersectional, interracial, and accessible wedding
I’m a person with both hidden and visible disabilities. Queerness is an important part of how I identify and build community. We’re also an interracial and interfaith couple. I’m planning my big fat Southern, intersectional, interracial, accessible, and Jew(ish) wedding. Here are my perspectives…
We’re bowled over by this creative wedding in Seattle (with a hand-dyed dress!)
Dana and John’s space-y and creative wedding had some seriously intricate and beautiful details. There were constellations at every table, a huge and ornate chuppah made of paper, and the highlight of our lives: Dana’s hand-dyed wedding dress. We could go on, but hey, we’ve got the whole story from the bride! Let’s take a peek at all the details plus lots of commentary from the couple…
OMG it’s Spaceballs: The Wedding (with Barf, Dot Matrix, and a space-pope officiant)
“We had a Spaceballs-themed costume wedding complete with Barf the best mog, Dot Matrix the droid of honor, and a space-pope officiant.” Holy shit is my ’80s child brain exploding right now. You have the ring, and I see your Schwartz is as big as mine. Now let’s see how well you handle it…
Fall colors and epic love were on full display at this jubliant wedding
Give us a fall wedding anywhere — but when it’s in Ontario and the colors are out-of-this-world vivid, it’s just magical. That’s what we’ve got going on with Leanne and Paula’s wedding. There were shout-outs to baseball, Superman, Jewish traditions (including an almost-fail-but-still-success hora dance!), and a fabulous brooch bouquet.
This NYC wedding (with breastfeeding, yoga, and a familiar cake creator!) was planned in only TWO WEEKS
This New York City pair planned a superb wedding in just TWO WEEKS! Yep, a whole wedding in two weeks including a venue, outfits, cakes, and more. And it was fabulous. Don’t miss the family walk down the ceremony (post breastfeed!), the daisy themed decor, the surprise Lady Gaga cameo at the after party, and the cake made by their friend (and someone you may know!) Ron Ben-Israel!
Whip up your own “relationship ingredients” wedding ceremony idea
When looking for a wedding ceremony idea, the one that resonated the most with us was something like the unity sandwich, since we’re both foodies. I had also been inspired by a modern interpretation of the Jewish 7 Blessings.
So we combined those two ideas to make our “Relationship Ingredients Ceremony.”
