Lindsay & Val’s Broadway-themed, musical wedding
Lindsay & Val share a passion for attending musicals and shows. They incorporated hints of that throughout their Broadway-themed wedding in Chicago. Even though gay marriage isn’t legal in Illinois, Lindsay & Val wanted to have a wedding ceremony in which they could unite in front of their friends and family!
Planning a sincere-but-theatrical wedding
If you or your beloved is a performer by trade, how much of the wedding is a “performance”?
This musical theater couple’s wedding was as show called “Wedding: The Musical”
We wrote and produced Wedding! The Musical and had our friends star in it with us. Not only was there popcorn and commemorative posters sold pre-show along with a mime, during the “show” there was music, dancing, lip synching, a trapeze swing, skits to tell the story of our relationship, and eventually a ceremony complete with a ringleader, fire, and uh, missing rings. We also spent 3 months learning a choreographed swing dance and pretended to get in a huge fight in front of the 225 guests before sailing into said dance.
