From Love Exile to legal wedded bliss: get your hankies out for this wedding

After meeting fatefully at a nightclub in D.C., Tamara proposed to Leriche every single day. Tamara had to became a Love Exile in South Africa to allow Leriche to join her as a legal immigrant since the U.S. didn’t allow LGBT sponsorship for partners. They were legally married in South Africa, but their dream of having a ceremony at home finally came true when Virginia passed legislation to legalize same-sex marriage. Come see their joyful story.

A custom white wedding suit and tutu-inspired reception dress at this glam meets rustic wedding

Elizabeth and Colleen’s glam meets rustic wedding at the Holliston Historical Society in Massachusetts was a testament to amazing DIY projects and the super chic dress + white suit combination. Elizabeth created all the decor from scratch, all the way from the centerpieces to custom designing Colleen’s suit. She made the table numbers from a broken fence in her backyard and hand-picked the flowers for the bouquets. Don’t miss the black detailing on the back of the wedding party’s dresses and the short tulle reception dress, too!

Amazing LGBT Las Vegas wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

The matching suits at this Vegas wedding will fill your heart with floral-covered joy

I don’t know if I can adequately prepare you for the super chic matching suits on Lance and Cary. It’s almost too much to bear. You just have to see it, appreciate it, and let it fill your heart with joy. The matching fabric was originally spotted on a pillow while they were shopping for their interior design clients, and they felt it totally pulled together the garden feel of the venue and their fave color. Plus, they’ve been together for 28 years and counting, so we’re looking at long-time love in action. Swoon city, people.
