The LGBT+ community is composed of all sorts of people whose personal experiences of sexual attraction or gender identity don’t neatly fit within cultural expectations for men or women. Some of these people may appear outwardly straight or cisgender at times, depending on how they choose to express themselves and on whether they feel safe doing so.
Both Laura and I are LGBT+, even though we may not always explicitly present as such. So are many of our loved ones who will be in attendance. We’re excited that our wedding can be a place where our LGBT+ friends and family feel comfortable attending as their truest selves.
It means that we are placing no gender-based restrictions on how our guests can act or dress. We believe that any outfit or behavior that would be wedding-appropriate for one adult is wedding- appropriate for any adult, regardless of their gender or biological sex.
It also means that there will be visibly gay and transgender guests in attendance (including the newlyweds) and we expect all attendees to treat all other attendees with respect and courtesy. You are the most important people in our lives; please be excellent to each other.
You can read our outfit inspiration guidelines here.
You should act the same way you’d act at any other wedding. Congratulate the newlyweds. Make new friends. Eat delicious cake. Dance the night away. Y’know, wedding stuff. It’ll be a great time, we promise.
