Title: Trangender wedding.....
Post by: natures.grace on February 09, 2010, 08:26:13 PM
Hey all, well if you havent heard the news go to Adriannas topic OMGOMGOMG, or just read on lol

So if we are going to have a second wedding, I'm going to need some help here. The big dission is decided we as in me are wearing a dress. Ya for me that bites but I have something up my sleave as a suprise so i'm not left out.

ANYWHO...where do we start? This is going to be very small since a lot of my family anyway doesnt know about adrianna, just a few close friends and of course anyone from susans who wants to make the trip to Ontario lol.

Speaking of Ontario where should we go thats going to be er..friendly to adrianna's situation. I can imagin some women in the bridal store making her feel bad or mabie even saying something stupid. Also i mean planning a wedding is hard but its a little diffrent with two brides haha.We just don't know where to start in the planning. Any advise and ideas are welcome. I'd love to hear any cool ideas for theams and locations (in ontario) and things like that! Also second weddings...or renewal of vows i guess how does it work i know we dont have to pay to get a licence since we are already married.

Well feel free to go nuts with ideas and tips and helpfull stuff haha.

Two brides, that sounds awsome!

Can I ask why you are wearing a dress too Ethan? Or is it you as the collective you going to be wearing the dress i.e. this is not just a marriage between Ethan and Adrianna but a renewel of vows between adrianna and all of you?

Sorry, just curious.

I think you can go as complex and simple as you like. There is nothing legal involved in a vowel renewal so you don't need a celebrant(though one could definitly help). You could always get some other person you both know and trust to facilitate, a mutual friend for example. Usually these things are really simple, between the couple and close friends and family, less formal or costly than the big shebang.

If it is just not you Ethan, then maybe other personalities would like to have a say too? That would be cool I think.

You could play on the 'classic' wedding - have two brides on the cake, a bevy of brides maids, two best ladies, etc..

Let's see.  This be a renewing of vows. 

I would say Ethan in a tux and Adrianna in a wedding dress.  It would be an expression of your true selves, for you both, and it would be an expression of the partnership that you will share.

You could have it in Niagara Falls! It's a classic romantic spot and they must have so many weddings there that they would be used to seeing unconventional wedding arrangements.

Dusk, a million candles and chinese lanterns, someone singing a cappella in foreign language and dressed like an angel, (oh, I love ave maria, I think it sounds beautiful though not the most romantic)

simple, sweet, lovely, an infinitly long kiss...

sigh.
