I was going to list out multiple time markers that give me chills in this film, but I just feel like you need to watch it for yourself

Adriana + Emily were best friends in high school and have been together for the past (almost) nine years. They got married on their 8 year anniversary at a place so special to them in Bodega Bay.

A+E chose me to document their love, and my gosh that felt like the greatest privilege. To create something that represented the silliness, goodness, and beauty of their love was a gift. I’m so happy this film and the two of them exist.

It is a love so worth celebrating and leaning into

They spent the morning on a porch, with their ceremony location as their backdrop, reading letters and notes and little side jokes they wrote one another in high school. Some even before they began their relationship and were still friends

BOTH of their vows referenced outer space (you’re gonna have to watch until 7:07 for those chills). Which felt fitting given their matching tattoos

“Space comes to visit me when you’re around”

I’m just gonna leave it at that. I’m so excited to share this film with you all. Their response to it was everything to me and it feels so happy getting to share it with you now too (reaction film and full film are on YouTube!)

with love,
Mads

A lesbian wedding is a wedding between two females and we love that this style can really be about choosing to make your own traditions. We love when lesbian couples make the ceremony entrance their own—walk in together or have a circular setup and each walk in from different sides.

Consider readings that are personal to you or ones important to your relationship like Justice Anthony Kennedy’s majority opinion in Hodges v. Obergefell.

Lesbian weddings are all about making your wedding speak to your special and unique relationship. If you’re a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, wedding planning may seem even more strenuous because your celebration may not follow the template of a “traditional” wedding, but this is where you should feel free to play around.

We love that lesbian weddings can turn traditions on their head. For instance, have fun with what you call your wedding party, like I Do Crew, Friends of Honor, Adventure Party, Bridesminions. We've also found that the majority of same-sex couples choose to write their own wedding vows. And consider encouraging your speakers to acknowledge that this is a different and special relationship, and toannounce it to the world during their toasts.

These wedding videos will give you the inspiration for all your lesbian wedding, plus the vendors and brands who can make them happen.

A gay wedding is the union between two people who identify as gay, who will exchange vows and begin their lives together as a couple. Gay weddings tend to be rather eventful, especially if the couple may be the first in their community to tie the knot. The planning process is usually somewhat different, as certain “traditional” notions may need a makeover.

When planning a gay wedding, get creative and personalize away! After all, your big day happens only once in a lifetime, and you should not be bound by customs.

Need vendors for your gay wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

A gay wedding is like any other wedding in the fact that it symbolizes the enduring love of two people. However, in this particular situation, they just both happen to be men. If you haven’t learned already, gay weddings are a wonderful event, representing a way to not only exchange vows and make commitments, but also to share this revelry with loved ones and other members of their LGBTQ+ family.

It’s also a time to see tradition tossed out the window. Guests will typically be seated together, without “sides,” and unity will be the theme of the day.
