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.

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