No Rush to GLBT Weddings?

It has been said that GLBT couples are "hanging back" when it comes to having their ceremonies. It is also said that more females than males take the step.

Our records would support the assertion about the gender ratio of people seeking to wed. Clients have been "tired of waiting" for legality. Some have said that in waiting, they are missing out on sharing their lives at the level that makes the relationship different from "dating". Some like the "official" feel of having commemorated their love ceremonially and plan to have the "big one" once gay marriage is legal.

What we do know is that GLBT people all over the world have been having ceremonies of one form or another for centuries. We have seen the passion and devotion of our clients who have allowed us to share in the creation of their special day. Our couples have blessed us with their opinions while in the process of working with them on their unforgettable celebration. Being booked into 2007 lets us know that couples ARE celebrating their love with a loving and memorable event to "make it official".

Where do you and your friends stand on the issue? What encourages you to or discourages you from having YOUR big Do? What are your thoughts???
