Wedding season is upon us, and same-sex couples across the country want to make their special day as unique and special as they are. With many of these couples funding their same-sex weddings, what options do they have to make their day memorable? How can they avoid letting their wedding ruin them financially?
Palifroni’s been planning same-sex weddings and commitment ceremonies since before marriage equality in June 2015. She’s seen the evolution of these ceremonies and says same-sex couples are growing more comfortable just with the idea of throwing their own wedding. They’re embracing it more, whereas initially many were wrapping their heads around the concept that weddings were actually an option for them.
Palifroni says, “We’re loving that more LGBTQ couples are reaching out and saying, ‘Yes, we do want to have a wedding. We do want to have a celebration. And, what does that look like for us?’”
When asked if same-sex weddings are becoming more traditional in look and feel now that we’re four years into Federally recognized same-sex marriages, Palifroni says no. “The thing about weddings today is there are no rules anymore, and that goes for opposite and same-sex weddings,” she says. Palifroni continues, “Once you have all the base pieces together—who, what, where, when—it’s really up to the couple to add in their own personality.”
