Love, Love, Love

Bobbie and Tracy learned about Tammy and our Special Moments Event Planning Team from their Maid of Honor.  We had the pleasure of planning her daughter’s wedding.

We are so glad they chose our team for their special day, they are truly an inspirational couple. Back in 2015 when the United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage, they were there. They had spent the night sleeping outside so they could be two of the fifty people to witness that historic moment.

Bobbie and Tracy met over 20 years ago and they have pretty much been inseparable ever since they do everything together.

One of the greatest pieces of the relative newness of same-sex marriage is that there are no rules. Personalization is key!

So, on the day of their wedding when traditionally couples get ready separately, Bobbie and Tracy got ready together. They were apart just long enough to put on their lace wedding gowns and have another moment together.

The brides each carried a hand-tied bouquet of antique roses and assorted flowers in shades of purple accented with waxflower and eucalyptus.

They took some private time on the balcony of the historic Mirror Lake Lyceum overlooking the stage where they would exchange their wedding vows. Afterward, they strolled around Mirror Lake, hand in hand.

The couple exchanged their wedding vows surrounded by family and friends which was officiated by a close friend. The ladies also chose to include a wine ceremony as part of their wedding.

After exchanging vows, the brides and their guests enjoyed other unique reception details. Why not have guests sign wine corks to add to your collection instead of a guestbook?

If both brides choose to toss their wedding bouquets, do it!
