Question
I've Never Been to a Queer Wedding, Are They Different?
Answer
Don't worry, this will also be our first queer wedding! The only difference is that everyone in the room is full of radical, unwavering support for us and for all other non-traditional relationships and identities. We recognize that loving us as individuals is not the same as supporting and celebrating our marriage. If you find yourself in this camp, we ask that you refrain from disrupting the inclusive environment we have worked very hard to create for ourselves and our guests.
