So What’s a Two-Bride Wedding Look Like Anyhow??

Well folks, I hate to disappoint, but I think it’s gonna look just like any other wedding.

Um. Scratch that.  It’s OUR wedding so it’s gonna be awesome.

Here’s one of the first inspiration board I made after we decided on a venue.  I’m still pretty in love with it, although it has definitely evolved a bit.

What do I like about this board? Well it’s fun, it’s festive, it’s a little girly and it’s pretty laid-back.  It’s a very pretty party that I’d like to be a part of! (say that 3 times fast)

What’s gonna change? I think we’re going to incorporate some brighter color/pattern for the bridesmaids and go a little less shabby and a little more chic. Vintage/modern french carnival anyone?

I’ll have to devote another post to the actual practical differences in a two-bride wedding- you know who walks who down the aisle first, how our (all female) attendants walk down the aisle- alone? together? etc.. and the all-important, all-dreaded, “I now pronounce you partners for life.” Eff that nonsense. We’re getting married, not starting our own business people.

So stay tuned for that!

   Here’s how we handled the practical stuff–which of course, doesn’t mean it’s at all the right solution for you:

   1. We walked down the aisle together, holding hands. The world did not end.

   2. We had one male and one female attendant. (They were my kids.) They walked separately, only because otherwise the processional would have been really short. We never quite determined which one was supposed to be my attendant and which one was supposed to be NotFroofy’s, but the world still didn’t end.

   3. Here is what our rabbi said:

   Now by the authority vested in me by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and in the presence of these witnesses, I declare you married under the laws of Massachusetts and the traditions of Moses and of Israel, and join with this happy company in wishing you every success and every joy in the days ahead.

   A bit long-winded, but we wanted it clear we were married, not just partners. (We’ve already been partners for 9 years now!)
