Where Do We Begin Planning For Our Gay Wedding?
You and your partner have come out (in most cases!), met each other, fallen in love, gotten engaged, and picked a date. Though you've covered great distances, you are now finding that you've actually only just begun and "square one" is staring you in the face. You are asking yourselves: “We've come this far and know we want to build the gay wedding of our dreams, but what is next? Where do we begin?”
The Importance of a Guest List When Planning Your Gay Wedding
The guest list is one of the most important elements of your planning process. There are the obvious components to consider: inviting folks who will appreciate your exchange of vows, will support you and your partner in your life together, and who will be a great addition to the reception (if you are having one). Inviting your favorite friends and struggling with the decision about whether or not your dad's sister will make the cut, however, is only half of the process! (Photo credit: Belletti Photography)
Which Finger For My Gay Wedding Ring?
Diamond solitaire or platinum band for your gay wedding? For some, picking a ring is only half the battle (and twice the wedding budget!). Once you have the ring, you can decide to go the traditional route and wear your commitment on the ring finger of your left hand or not!
