GayWeddings.com is pleased to offer its professional consulting services for busy brides and grooms who are looking for a little extra support and seasoned inspiration in planning for their celebrations. Services range from introductory, hour-long consultation sessions to the Gay Weddings 101 Seminar series and more extensive flat rate consultation packages.

Appointments in the Metro DC area or Dallas Metroplex may take place in person; other appointments will be conducted via phone.

Many couples, especially our couples who would like to do most of the planning themselves but would like a little nudge to get them pointed in the right direction, choose our initial consultation package. This session offers each couple an hour of our undivided time and attention to learn more about each couple's wedding vision, interests and wedding planning needs.

Should a couple decide to book a consultation agreement with GayWeddings.com (available with flat or hourly fee and determined on a case-by-case basis), this initial consultation fee will be credited toward the initial deposit.

An interesting concept, but with all the ballyhoo over same sex marriages in the US, it is a doomed enterprise I think.

Although, I really cannot see what the fuss is all about

Even though same-sex marriages are not legal, there are still a lot of gay couples who have wedding ceremonies. They just do it without the marriage license.

That is true upbeat.

I had forgotten that for some, the ceremony is sufficient, and in that some religious (priests, ministers, etc) will perform the ceremony.

i see it this way... marriage is something we always dream of as kids- something that we look forward to, something sacred and special. i think that, no matter what sexual preference you may have, as long as you are a consenting adult, you should definitely be allowed to get married. it's unconstitutional to deny someone the right to be married.

Maybe I don't remember the Constitution correctly, but I don't remember the part about marraige. Anyway, I personally think that gay marriage is wrong. It seems to me to be just... breaking off everything that [edit: remove] your family created for you. Like... your parents and grandparents and their parents and so on worked so hard for the family, and being gay and not continuing your family name is spitting on everything that they did for you. That's my opinion at least...

Being Gay is not a personal choice...being straight is not a personal choice...

Not denying your right to your opinion Brutus, but lets put this into a less controversial setting.

Quote:

First, as Geri wrote, being gay or straight is not a matter of choice. It is something you are born with, like blue eyes or long bones.

But getting back to your statement. Lets say that you fell in love with a girl. Your whole world revolves around her, and she makes you complete. Now, let us suppose that she is of a different ethinic background and skin tone. Your family is horrified and wants you to end the relationship. Would you? Or would you continue to see the girl, maybe marry her? Would you be "spitting on everything your family did for you"?

And, why do you think that a gay couple wouldn't be able to 'carry on the family name'? There are many, many (too many) children without a proper home that are just waiting for two loving parents to cherish them.

I'm not sure if I buy into the fact that every guy has only one girl for him or what not (this one girl makes you complete). I'm not sure if I would marry her (the girl in your example) or not, probably but... I don't know. Besides the fact that the scenario is very unrealistic, if my family was racist chances are I would be racist too.

Hmmm... and as for carrying on the family name I don't know, I menat more like bloodline and lineage, those are two things that have always been very dear to me. It just seems unfair to me that my family members 500+ years ago worked their asses off and died for their children so that their children can live and propagate and then for me to cut off everything they worked for because of homosexuality.

The jury is still out on this, but there is growing evidence that it is not genetic and that it is also not a choice.

This link seems to be fairly non-biased: Is Homosexuality Genetic?

Here is an article that says thatit is "the brain is hard wired": Is Sexuality Hard-Wired by the Brain?

to say that if your family is racist then you would be as well would go to the idea if your family is not gay then why would you be? besides the fact that as a parent and a family you should accept the person that your child decides to be with no matter what....if that person is a different color or the same sex should not make any difference....

So are you completely denying the fact that your enviornment changes your personality? You don't know ANYONE who is an... mean spirited person who's children are mean spirited? I'm only 17 and I see it all the time. The way you are raised affects who you are. And think of it from their perspective. They think that non-white people are bad and evil, they are only trying to protect you, so yes, it DOES make a difference what color skin they have (in this case).
