New Gay Event Mag EquallyWed Would Like To Commitment Ceremony You | Autostraddle

BETTER STILL THAN POPULAR BRIDE:


The best part concerning the launch of

Similarly Wed

, a brand-new magazine for same-sex wedding receptions, is the fact that it really is already touting alone as « the country’s prime Same-Sex Wedding mag, » and that is like when my mommy says i am her favored daughter b/c I’m the woman just daughter.

But regardless! Spearheaded by Georgia natives Kirsten Palladino and her wife Maria (the two are not lawfully wed b/c The usa hits), the mag has already been appearing like the most very carefully put together, diverse-yet-honest representations of our community we’ve seen on line, despite its niche-within-a-niche topic.

Equally Wed could be the nation’s premier same-sex marriage magazine, providing gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender couples with today’s, elegant and distinctive guide to wedding preparation, from band purchasing and proposing to tying the knot and residing happily actually after—and all things in between. New and revolutionary, just as Wed supplies a closer look into genuine wedding receptions worldwide, together with wedding tales, a socially entertaining community and regional Resources, a vetted marketplace wealthy with GLBT-friendly wedding suppliers.

The second-best part about it magazine is whereas Bridal Magazines virtually eat a whole rack during the mag-stand, the « groom » industry has not exactly caught on. Based on a few attacks of

, we conclude simply because grooms are common obese cheez-doodle-huffing slobs with poor style whom would like to get the bru-ha-ha over with the they could go have drunk-sex in Aruba with their over-manicured princess-of-the-pea wives, right? In summary,

Similarly Wed

may have the thumb throughout the pulse of two strong wedding-related marketplaces:

here is a way to achieve besides inaccessible queers, nevertheless formerly untappable male wedding-prep market at the same time.

When absolutely money become generated, legislation alter easily, yes?

Therefore we say
