Sweet and simple Los Angeles wedding with flowing pink dress

In a sweet and simple ceremony, Stacie and Karina got married near their Los Angeles home.“We felt the stars aligned when our souls met 8 years ago,” they write. “3 kids and 2 puppies later, we are still rocking together. We have found a bond that links with the natural things in life, the simple things like feeling fresh soil under our feet, to the moon that draws us together. We like to call it the gravitational pull of love.”What advice would you give to engaged LGBTQ+ couples?Don’t lose sight of the moment.Advice for vendors and venues working with LGBTQ+ couples?Push the limit on creativity.What challenges did you face as an LGBTQ+ couple planning your wedding?None.
