Putting the “Gay” Back in Your Gay Wedding:
Busting the 10 Most Common Misconceptions

If you’re gay and engaged, take heart—a lot of progress has been made just in the last few years. The battle for legal marriage continues, with lots of successes and a couple of setbacks (who knew that New Jersey was more progressive than New York?). Celebrities like Elton John and playwright Terrence McNally have celebrated their unions—McNally even wrote an off-Broadway play about same-sex weddings called “Some Men”.

Polls show that youths up to the age of 29 are far more likely to support legalized marriage for gays and lesbians than their older counterparts. And gay weddings across America are on the rise.

But one thing hasn’t changed: Every gay wedding, be it a gargantuan affair at Tavern on the Green, or a tiny backyard barbecue in the Midwest, comes with its own fair share of mistakes. In this respect, same-sex couples are no different than heterosexual ones; anyone who’s ever planned a wedding will tell you that something went wrong. Often, the mistakes are similar, like not finding a ceremony site on time or seating two people together who haven’t spoken in years. But gay couples have their own unique problems, and, as weddings grow, so do the complications.
