Weddings Redefined

It's now the time of year in which we look for 2011 interns and wedding assistants.  The intern job description is live and you can view it right here.  Our company is exciting and growing and we look forward to reading the resumes and cover letters that come in.

It's been over a year in the making but my first book Gay Wedding Confidential is now available for sale on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.  I can't believe it!  I wrote it and published it myself and am so proud to bring my years of experience as America's first gay wedding planner to print!

Meg and Sarah's three day wedding extravaganza at Chimney Corners Camp was last weekend and we're exhausted but exhilarated!  It was a fabulous weekend with perfect weather and I can't wait to show you the good photos.  In the meantime, here's a sneak peek from my cameraphone and the Jessica's Country Flowers' blog.  Jessica was responsible for that gorgeous floral design!

There is something in the air this week.  I had a wedding this past Saturday at Old South Church and heard from three other couples just this week, also interested in a church ceremony.  That's pretty unusual for me as most of my clients prefer secular ceremonies, but I'm really psyched because I absolutely love a church wedding.

Jen and I grew up Catholic and the sense of ritual and tradition that goes along with the ceremony is something that deeply resonates with both of us...

Here's an amateur photo from Saturday's wedding of the Boston Gay Men's Chorus warming up at Old South.  Why or why not would you want to have your same-sex wedding ceremony in a church?

This past weekend, a small ensemble from the Boston Gay Men's Chorus sang a few songs at my clients' same-sex wedding ceremony and reception.  What a joyous sound!  My clients even danced their first dance to "A Love that Will Never Grow Old" from the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack.  You can listen to that sound clip here...

I see a lot of first dances and this one had me in tears!

This is the second time this year that a Gay Men's Chorus has performed at a clients' wedding.  The Miami Gay Men's Chorus sang "Heaven" as the processional and "For the Longest Time" as the recessional in July.  It's just such a fun way to bring energy into the room - a Chorus serenading YOU!

Are you planning to have a Gay Men's Chorus sing at your wedding?

Why settle for a boring bus, or even a boring limo?  It's fun, and about the same price, to rent a trolley for your wedding...
