Gay Marriage Essentials:
What You Need On Your
Wedding Day

wedding-day/

In a perfect world, a gay marriage would be
legal everywhere. But since we are living in a
less perfect one, then adjusting to the present
society is what everyone can do—especially
gay couples.
The politics about gay marriage might never
end, but the long wait for a fabulous wedding
day is over. Even if there are states in the U.S.
that still do not allow gay unions, you can still
have a ceremony that will make a statement
about your commitment to each other.
The things you need for a long lasting gay
marriage may not be available everywhere, but
all the necessities of a gay wedding are just
within your reach.

Wedding Cake
Who gets married without a cake? No
matter how small the ceremony is, there
should be a cake. It is a small token that
you can even bring home with your partner
to celebrate the first day of your gay
marriage. What is important is the cake
top. Of course there should be two brides
or two husbands on top of your cake.

Wedding location
So, in which part of the world can
you proclaim that you are having a
gay marriage without having to
deal with a party pooper? There
are actually a lot of places where
gay marriage isn’t so much of
an issue.

Key West Florida
This is where the artistic gays and
lesbians want to start their life together.
After all, gay marriage is often dubbed as
the union of two rainbow-colored souls. Be
poetic and check out Ernest Hemingway’s
home, or stroll along the city and enjoy
theater, music, and art. You can also enjoy
nature and have the wedding near
the beach.

Napa Valley, California
California is probably the place where you
can be as gay as you can be. Gay marriage is
respected in this state because this is where
the activists fought real hard to have equal
rights alongside heterosexual couples. Since
a gay marriage is never without wine, then a
gay wedding should be filled with it. Napa
Valley is perfect to share wine with your
invited guests because it houses
400 wineries.

Las Vegas, Nevada
If you want to go extravagant and make
your wedding day the most memorable in
all the days of your gay marriage, then
get hitched in Vegas. If you have the cash
to burn, you can even invite Cirque de
Soleil to your reception. But if that’s too
much for your pocket, you can still catch
them at the theater and get front-
row seats.

Honeymoon Destination
Hawaii
If a gay marriage is bound to last, then it
should have started in Hawaii. There is no
other place in the world where you can
relax, unwind, and enjoy your first weeks
as a married couple other than Honolulu.
It even has a weekly catamaran cruise,
held by Hula’s Bar and Lei Stand –
exclusively for gay people.

Wedding Officiant
Of course it is widely known that not all
ministers agree to officiate a gay
wedding. But don’t lose hope. Some
wedding officiants are still pro gay
marriage, so you will still have someone
facilitate your wedding. If you get tired
looking for one, you can easily go to
Ontario, Canada. They have lots of
wedding officiants that favor
gay marriage.

Wedding Dress or Wedding Suit

You can go traditional, or you can go
contemporary. The choice is yours. After all,
you better start making decisions of your
own since you are looking into a long-term
commitment when you enter a gay marriage.
Men usually choose conventional suits, while
women opt for dresses. In other cases, one
woman wears a suit—as in the case of Ellen
DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi.

Wedding Planner

While you think you have your wedding
and your gay marriage all planned out, you
thought wrong. You would still need
someone to guide you in making choices
about the invitation designs, photo and
video coverage, food at the reception,
flower arrangement, and so on.

Engagement Party
While this is not necessary, it can still bring an
energetic vibe prior to the wedding ceremony. Just
be sure to avoid anti-gay marriage activists crashing
your party.

A gay wedding is just a small part of a gay marriage.
The ceremony is just a symbol of telling the world
that you are ready for gay marriage. It may not be an
easy road ahead, but having the guts to publicly
affirm your commitment to each other through gay
marriage is another form of coming out of the closet,
and you should be proud of yourself for doing such.
