What advice would you give to engaged LGBTQ+ couples?

Planning a wedding could be extremely stressful so take a breath and trust in professionals when preparing such a special day. We let Si! Quiero handle most of the hard work and they did smooth everything up for us.

What challenges did you face as an LGBTQ+ couple planning your wedding?

We didn’t have to face any problems because of our orientation. What worried us the most was the organization—living in another country, being from one city and marrying in another (three cities, one story). We did not even know where to start, but Si! Quiero by Sira Antequera helped us to go step-by-step, enjoying all the process, having everything planned without surprises.

Did you encounter any pleasant surprises as an LGBTQ+ couple planning your wedding?
