Your Parents & Your Gay Wedding

Bernadette Coveney Smith - Wednesday, January 13, 2010

This past summer I wrote a series of posts on how to get your parents excited about your gay wedding. Since I am away at a conference and there are lots of newly engaged couples wondering about this very topic, I figured I would repost the articles:

Start here with the first step: Be Patient

Step two: Share your excitement.

Step three: Ask for advice (not money).

Step four: Excitement is contagious.

Step five: Ask for money (if you need to).

Step six: Give them a project.

Step seven: Distract them some more.

How are your parents feeling about your gay wedding plans?
