NYC Gay & Lesbian Wedding Expo a Success!
Thank you to all who recently attended our Same Love, Same Rights GLBTQ Wedding Expo at the Riverside Church in Manhattan on Sunday October 19th! The event was bubbling with a diversity of attendees, advocates and allies and couples were grateful to be able to find wedding, travel and home-related businesses ready and willing to work with them with utter respect and joyfulness.
Despite ongoing concerns from vendors about the financial crunch and its impact on the wedding industry, the atmosphere for the day was upbeat, optimistic and filled with excitement given the recent legislation in New York regarding the portability of couples' married status from other states (such as Massachusetts, California and now Connecticut!)
It was an honor for the team from RainbowWeddingNetwork and Same Love, Same Rights to visit the historic Riverside Church, to meet so many wonderful people and to hear the diverse stories of couples from the immediate locale and well beyond Manhattan itself. One couple in attendance was from Sweden!
The upcoming 2009 calendar for the Same Love, Same Rights GLBTQ Wedding Expos is now in its planning stages. If you have a request for us to visit your city, let us know! We always love to hear from you-
