Bex & Cort’s big queer Jewish wedding

Bex and Cort planned a fab outdoor ceremony complete with lots of traditional and alternative takes on Jewish traditions, and were both fashion plates on top of it. Lots of laughter (including dad’s “presentation” speech and mad emcee skills) and lots of personalization made this day all theirs.

Take two men in love, a weekend long party full of dancing, pies, and even Jazzercize, and you get the wedding of Chad and Matt. And any couple who provides parasols, ribbon streamers, and cardboard cutouts for their “gigantic gay discotheque” is aces in my book.
