Picture this: A floating gazebo in the middle of lake. Champagne is flowing, flowers are blooming, chocolate, cheese, and fruit adorn every guests chair. Live music is provided by some of the best in the business. Friends and family surround you. The entire scene is nestled between two valleys covered in fall foliage colors on a private estate in Vermont. At the center of this scene are two incredibly handsome men- one in a full Scottish kilt ensemble, and the other in a dapper suit and tie. Both wearing killer smiles. The wedding day is finally here!!!
I don't think it is a coincidence that the two best weddings I have ever been to (by far) were both gay weddings- those boys know how to throw a PARTY!!!
I just returned from the wedding of two of my dearest friends- Josh Walden and Jeff McLean. I have known Josh and Jeff separately for about ten years- through totally different circles. Two years ago, both friends were cast in the tour of the Bway musical "Legally Blonde" and the romance developed immediately.
Knowing Josh and Jeff apart, and seeing them together is magical. These fellas are two of the most loving, creative, unique, generous, loyal, and all around extraordinary men I know. I am so So SOOO glad I was able to be a part of this wedding celebration.
A weekend of love, laughter, tears, more laughter... and always, LOVE!
The private bus ride taking us from our hotel to an organic country diner the night before the wedding (please note the grooms matching gingham shirts).
Pajama party in the movie theater we had to ourselves. Mystery Science Theater 3000 to "The American." Horrible movie. Awesome narration by the wedding party.
Pre-wedding mingling, socializing, toasting, and celebrating.
The Ceremony: Without a doubt, the best speeches I have ever heard at a wedding ceremony. Noah, Rye, Aunt Suzanne.... all inspiring and inspired!!!
Post ceremony celebrations... the party continues
*** Here with the groom and the legal document wedding license. YEAH for Vermont for being one of the brave and humane states to allow equal rights for all and NOT discriminate based on gender or sexual orientation.
