We’ve been talking about transgender weddings since 2008, and love supporting folks as they find trans wedding outfits (whether it’s a dress or suit or a combination of both!), lots of inspirational photos, and ceremony ideas. Depending on how you identify, you may also want to check out our nonbinary weddings, too!

Still madly in love: a queer/trans 25th anniversary vow renewal

When we made promises to each other 25 years ago, who could have thought what was in store for both of us? We are both very different people now, and I’m so glad that we did the work as separate people and as a couple to be here today, and not just here. Here, still madly in love with each other after all this time.

This wedding vow renewal ceremony is radiating queer joy

We know that 25 years of marriage is a big deal for any couple, but for Amber and Rachel, it’s a true testament to growing together. When they got married 25 years ago, Amber and Rachel were celebrated as a cis-het couple. Since then, they’ve both come into their queerness, including Amber coming out as trans. They wanted to mark this huge milestone of 25 years with a queer wedding vow renewal ceremony, as their authentic selves, surrounded by their community.

A medley of songs inspired these wedding vows

These wedding vows inspired by musical lyrics would make the sweetest Spotify playlist! Remember the transgender lesbian wedding we featured a few weeks ago that had a PB&J unity sandwich? I mean, it’s kind of hard to forget something as classic as PB&J. Well, our Offbeat couple Cassandra and Evan really do go together like peanut butter and jelly. Just read their vows and all their musical references! What a duo.

We were high school sweethearts! I asked Cassandra on our first date because I wanted her to take me to prom, but I planned to split up when she left for college in the fall. We’ve been glued together for eight years now.
