Planning LGBTQ Elopements
When it comes to marrying the person you love, it doesn’t matter who they are. All that really matters is love. Same-sex marriage is being legalized in an increasing number of countries all over the world. In 2015 the US Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in all fifty states. With same-sex marriage becoming so much more accessible, it is no surprise that there has also been an increase when planning LGBTQ Elopements.
Planning LGBTQ Elopements
Truth be told, planning LGBTQ elopements are more or less the same as planning any other elopement! All of the same steps need to be taken. That includes setting a budget, choosing a venue, and applying for a marriage license!
We have been championing same-sex marriage for many years, even prior to the Supreme Court ruling, and have come to discover many vendors who are welcoming of same-sex couples. Back in 2013, one of our sweepstakes-winning couples was on a mission to marry in every state where it was legal for them to do so. That was just 8 states back then! Thankfully times have changed and you have a lot more options open to you for LGTBQ elopements today. Here are just a few vendors you might want to consider.
