Have you been to a same-sex wedding yet?

[MAJOR METAL]

I'm sorry to say, I haven't been to any. I was invited to my ex's wedding which would have been my first but that would have been too much for my ticker.

Have you been to a same-sex wedding yet?

I wasn't invited to my Daughter's wedding. They did send me some nice pictures, though. Then they honeymooned in Afghanistan with the USAF.

I have not, but my wife was involved in one - maybe sorta, you could say. My wife is a JP (so am I), and was asked by one of her staff to do the paperwork for her marriage. There wasn't going to be a ceremony as this staffperson is estranged from family. At the time, the staffperson in question identified as lesbian, while the spouse was a trans woman who had not physically transitioned. (I mentioned this to a friend whose reaction was, "But then... wait... how...?") Anyway, rather than just sign paperwork, my wife and the rest of the library staff got a cake and some food, and then decided to decorate, and next thing you know they actually threw them a nice, if somewhat improvised, ceremony and celebration. The spouse subsequently detransitioned and the staff member, I believe, identifies a bit more generally as queer now (they are still together). So whether it counts as a "same sex" wedding is a bit up in the air. There's a lot of fluidity in all of it.

I have two lesbian friends who the very first gay couple ever to be married in Kane County, Illinois.

I was their wedding photographer. Both brides looked fabulous in their wedding gowns.

Not yet, but we will be getting a "Save the date" card for a lesbian wedding fairly soon, I suspect. They're currently awaiting child number two, but I believe the due date is pretty close (late September, if I remember correctly). We'll see if they'll set the date for 2024 or 2025.

I missed the wedding of two of my best friends because I was overseas. Another good friend of mine would like to marry but can't even be open about his relationship in the country he is living in.

I attended a lesbian wedding up in NH about 25 years ago.

 

[Johnny Fingers]

My daughter eloped.

 

[Bob_Ross]

I've been to at least 3 or 4. Last one I went to, the officiant turned out to be the same guy who'd married my wife and me ~10 years earlier!

 

[Jim Nazium]

I played a gig at one. I haven't been an invited guest.

 

[WG Plum]

Yep, went to the wedding of one of my dearest friends years ago now. She and her partner looked beautiful!

 

[Fishheadjoe]

I've been to two so far. One gay, one lesbian. The Lesbians had better food! LOL

Likewise here.

I was going to lobby my state to require a legal marriage to have live music at the ceremony and reception. Morals are morals, after all.

same, i've played two weddings, but haven't been a guest yet.

 

[LBS-bass]

Have not, but we have a few lesbian couples as friends and most of them got married in very private ceremonies. Of our gay male friends, there's only one couple I know of who have officially tied the knot.

That makes me sad.

 

[kesslari]

That makes me sad.

Me too.
The first one I attended was in 1982.

 

[Killing Floor]

Several. And before they were “weddings” I attended a few unification ceremonies. Love is love.

Same here.

 

[Richard Lindsey]

Sure.
