Alternative Wedding Ideas for Celebrating Your Love

Your Kinky Wedding

Here Comes the Bride! And, he looks beautiful in his tuxedo! Sharing your wedding with family and friends is a special day that you hopefully will remember with fondness for the rest of your lives together. Why should it be any different for a couple that consists of two love-struck, committed partners, who just happen to be the same gender? Although, as a side note, I don’t really consider lesbian and gay couples as necessarily kinky. At least, not just because they love people of the same sexual identification. Why should it be any different for a Dominant and submissive couple? Master and slave? Why should it be different for a family of polyamourous lovers?

Because it is different. Celebrating love and commitment in alternative relationships can be as beautiful and meaningful as any other can, providing you work out the ‘Kinks’ ahead of time! Ok. That was a sad joke. Sorry.

Your Wedding Officiant

Do you want a wedding officiant with religious or spiritual leanings? Do you want an officiant at all? Many celebrants are in tune with the cultures of alternative lifestyles, and, believe it or not, many of us are even members of alternative lifestyles. Check around in your community to find a celebrant that suits your needs. Ask your prospective officiant:

• Are you comfortable with the alternative lifestyle we live?
• Do you have a problem with us writing our own ceremony?
• Would you be willing to travel to the location we’ve chosen? And if so, what additional financial arrangements would you require?

Additional celebrant information can be found at The Universal Life Church site: http://ulc.net and then search their fabulous directory, and Two Grooms and Two Brides site: http://www.twogrooms.com. Many alternative communities have a number of celebrants already, and letting the people you ‘play’ with know you are looking can lead to contacts.
