An LGBTQ Ceremony is a formal and dignified public declaration of love and devotion between two people. It can be arranged by couples of the same or the opposite sex, shared with family and friends, or held in private without any guests.
I regard LGBTQ weddings the same as any other. It is a uniting of two people who love each other in marriage, as such, it is as personable and meaningful as any wedding.
Every LGBTQ Ceremony is unique. Working with the Officiant, couples create their unique celebration by selecting words, poems, and readings that hold a special meaning.
The couple also chooses the venue, number of guests, and involvement of other guests, creating a significant and personal experience.
