Deciding to have a Local Wedding
Posted on January 20th, 2011 by cynthia. 6 Comments
My fiancee and I have been tossing around different ideas when it comes to wedding locales. I think every feasible place where a gay couple could get married has come up in our day-to-day talks and then for a while, we felt that we would have a destination wedding. Which would allow us to combine both the wedding and honeymoon and from what I’ve researched that would allow things to be somewhat cheaper than having the wedding in one place and then going somewhere for the honeymoon. So we finally had it settled, we would have our wedding on a beach or in Europe and then enjoy our honeymoon in whatever locale the wedding took place. A walk in the park, right? So, of course things wouldn’t be that easy but let’s continue on with the story. (more…)
Real Engagement Washington, DC: Christine and Rebecca

Christine and I met through mutual friends. We were dating for 2 years when Christine proposed to me during the blizzard of 2010. We plan on getting married in June at the Heurich House in Dupont Circle.
We moved from South Florida to Washington, DC in June of 2009. Being a Florida native, I was nervous about how cold the winters were going to be, so Christine, a Canadian native, assured me that Washington, DC definitely does NOT have snow during the winter. Fast forward to the blizzard of 2010 and lots of snowfall later (actually DCs largest snowfall since they kept records of snow)… Christine springs up out of bed on the first light snowy day with lots of leftover blizzard snow and excitedly packs a bag for our first snowman building. Since I had never built a snowman, I was pretty excited to go out and build one together. Images by The Blonde Photographer.
Engagement in Old Town Occoquan, Virginia : Ryan and Andrew

On March 3rd, the first day that DC permitted same-sex marriage applications, we looked at each other, smiled, and both knew that we wanted to get married. We have been through good, bad, and difficult times together and have known for a while we wanted to spend the rest of our life together. With the advent of the new law, we knew we had to follow-through as quickly as possible (we want to make sure it’s all said and done before Congress tries to regulate their morality).
After applying for our marriage license, the DC courts set our date for June 4th; that’s two months after the fact. I just thought that we would do the small ceremony and throw our party, I mean reception, later in the year. Andrew insisted that we could have the reception immediately following the ceremony. Despite the short two months planning time and certainly a limited budget, he was confident we could have an awesome party. After all, we never thought this day would come and neither of us ever had any real wedding fantasies. So how could we plan a reception below our expectations?
