Marita & Loren’s backyard Sunday queer and trans wedding
We love the focus on accessibility and inclusion in this wedding! It’s no wonder their community was so willing to come together and make this sweet backyard wedding a reality. With amazing poetry, a night-before intention setting and ring blessing gathering, and killer style (including a wooden bow tie!), this pair wins the internet today.
So you need a program for your LGBT wedding: our funniest wedding program goes same-sex
Jayme and Sondra found inspiration in the “So you’re going to sit through a wedding” program, but customized it to include some same sex wedding-related questions that were inevitably going to arise. They titled it, “So you’re going to sit through your (first, probably) two-bride wedding.” They addressed the ceremony legality, ceremony length, and of course, where are the rainbows?!
Karli & Michelle’s canyon-top autumn elopement
Feast your eyes on this testament to the golden hour — a sunset elopement on a cliff in California, complete with a walk down memory lane. It’s a sight for sore eyes, as is this adorable pair. They may have scaled their wedding down to eight guests, a dog, and this scenery, but it’s huge on love.
Warrior Brides of the 21st century: No more resting in bubbles of wedding planning privilege
I am a Caucasian, cisgender, homosexual woman. My fiancé is transgender. Xe was assigned-female-at-birth but identifies as genderqueer and uses the gender neutral pronouns xe/xyr/xem. No one ever uses xyr correct pronouns unless they are explicitly told to use them and even then some people flat-out refuse. So what do we do about it? I am done sitting in my bubble of privilege. I am popping my bubble, donning the outfit of a warrior bride (think chainmail veil), and taking my vocal sword into the crowd and to my wedding!
