Our wedding was all about having fun and celebrating. In all aspects we tried to remove any pomp and circumstance since we viewed our wedding as chance to thank all of the people that have made an impact in our lives, and helped foster our relationship over the years. In the process of planning it, having a wedding seemed overwhelming, and at times we both looked at each other and pondered the idea of cancelling it and using the money to do something lavish. However, at the end of the day it was an amazing experience that teaches you not only about yourselves and your relationship, but also reminds you to be thankful for all the wonderful people you have in your life.
Our favorite part about planning the wedding was finding the location. I am not sure if it is this way for everyone but we had a really hard time choosing where to get married, and then find a location that both fit our style, our budget, and our personalities. It seemed like we would never find a place, but once we did, everything just seemed to happen. All the decisions that we had been trying to make for months just seem to fall into place. And that was a huge sigh of relief.
Also, don’t be afraid to be yourselves and let that shine through. I think a lot of people have a hard time planning a gay wedding in fear that it becomes “too gay”. By no means were we hanging rainbow flags at our wedding, but we did take liberties to add in a little flair here and there.
