Wedding Equality

Bride and Otherbride…. October of last year.  Dress shopping was out of the question for a queer wedding in our little town, so Bride made both of our outfits completely.  She’s hoping to start her own business soon with the tagline of ‘elegance for ALL bodies’, it’s weird how even most custom designers won’t look at you if you’re over a certain size!

What was the happiest day of my life? Marrying my partner, my best friend, my wifey— Melissa <3. She’s the one in the suit and I’m the one in the dress. 

Just wanted to say, Love your blog. SO inspiring :)

Thanks

Love Jose Miguel In Chicago <3

dreamingbetterplaces asked: Hi I'm Italian.. Here marriage equality is a mirage .. I think, unfortunately, that will never be legalized .. I'm a straight girl but see that there are still people with so many prejudices grips my heart .. I support equality between people .. because no matter what sex you are, the important thing is true love.. love is love no matter the gender :)

Don’t give up on Italy! Some day it will happen! I agree with the way you see things completely. :)

• Thank you for starting to break through and allow everyone equality. 
• Gracias amigos.

Gladly!

Thanks! I’m so glad this blog is meaningful to you!

artistgirlbg asked: Do you think that religious factors are some of the reasons why many people haven't come out yet?

People stay in the closet whenever they feel judged or shamed. When people feel safe and accepted, they come out. Religion often plays a huge role in whether people feel that they can come out or not. 

Seeing the many happy couples on your blog got me into volunteering for the Marylanders for Marriage Equality campaign, and so far, it looks optimistic! It’s going to ballot in November, and we’re hoping that soon, Maryland will be able to marry same-sex couples!
