Wedding Ideas for Gay and Lesbian Couples
Planning a wedding as a same-sex couple can come with unique challenges, from finding LGBT-friendly vendors to choosing a suitable cake topper to navigating wedding customs that may not feel like a good fit. Many same-sex couples are redefining wedding ceremonies and tailoring traditions to suit them. For example, you don't have to have traditional "bride" and "groom" sides at your wedding. Have guests circle around you or even make a heart, like grooms John Henry and John did here.
From walking each other down the aisle to planning outfits for bridesmaids and bridesmen or groomsmen and groomswomen, browse our gallery for more nontraditional wedding ceremony ideas for gay and lesbian couples. And remember: It's your day. There are no rules and expectations. Only love.
