No longer are we restricted by merely “man and wife.” Same sex marriage is here to stay.
Less Travelled
“Is there anything better than to be longing for something when you know it is within reach?” ~Greta Garble Standing around the campfire, the couples were chatting about how they met. Deidre and Jamie, the only lesbian couple at the retreat, felt a bit on the edges of everyone there. Although many of the people they’d met had been more than welcoming and kind, there was still a hint of an unspoken “outsiders” air that had been assigned to them. One that, although, was not spelled out by word of mouth, could still be felt. Despite this being the case, it hadn’t deterred them from joining in group conversations. Finally, it was their turn to tell the story of how they’d met. They had decided amongst one another that Deidre would be the one to speak.

If Love Commands
The only brick house on Sunnyside Lane is entirely too large for two people. The grandiose pillars lining the front porch too bare without someone to twirl around them, the sturdy oak trees grounded in the well-maintained yard just passionless without an old tire swing, and the rooms inside, I’m sure, echo at the drop of a pen. Only a husband and his wife now live there, such has been true for ten years.

How to Plan a Same Sex Wedding
When planning a same sex wedding, it's inevitable that your big day is going to veer away from the traditional wedding style in many ways. Traditional wedding ceremonies have a religious structure, and in many churches, gay couples are not accepted. Of course, in today’s society, we know that newlyweds are not always strictly man and woman. We have an understanding that marriage equality should allow all couples to marry regardless of gender, because love is love. Regardless of whether you hold a traditional wedding or not, having your family and friends present is what will legitimize your marriage and make your big day special. Therefore, when you plan a same sex wedding, it may be unique, but it will definitely be special, regardless of tradition.
