Claire\u2019s sister recorded a song for us to walk down the \u201caisle\u201d to. Our friend Sierra Carter who is a poet and storyteller even wrote and read a poem for us! The location of our ceremony was also personal to us. We both love Acadia National Park and since Claire&#8217;s grandparents live in the area, it was a no-brainer to get married there so they could attend.<\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/outdoor-summer-wedding-in-acadia-national-park-equally-wed-LGBTQ-weddings-64-scaled.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"LGBTQ+ couple kisses after getting married under an apple tree at their outdoor summer wedding\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"LGBTQ+ couple kisses after getting married under an apple tree at their outdoor summer wedding\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-77443\" src=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/outdoor-summer-wedding-in-acadia-national-park-equally-wed-LGBTQ-weddings-64-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"LGBTQ+ couple kisses after getting married under an apple tree at their outdoor summer wedding\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/outdoor-summer-wedding-in-acadia-national-park-equally-wed-LGBTQ-weddings-64-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/outdoor-summer-wedding-in-acadia-national-park-equally-wed-LGBTQ-weddings-64-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/outdoor-summer-wedding-in-acadia-national-park-equally-wed-LGBTQ-weddings-64-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/outdoor-summer-wedding-in-acadia-national-park-equally-wed-LGBTQ-weddings-64-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/outdoor-summer-wedding-in-acadia-national-park-equally-wed-LGBTQ-weddings-64-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/outdoor-summer-wedding-in-acadia-national-park-equally-wed-LGBTQ-weddings-64-585x877.jpg 585w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/outdoor-summer-wedding-in-acadia-national-park-equally-wed-LGBTQ-weddings-64-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/outdoor-summer-wedding-in-acadia-national-park-equally-wed-LGBTQ-weddings-65-scaled.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"smiling white LGBTQ+ couple throw their hands in air after getting married under an apple tree at their outdoor summer wedding\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"smiling white LGBTQ+ couple throw their hands in air after getting married under an apple tree at their outdoor summer wedding\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-77442\" src=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/outdoor-summer-wedding-in-acadia-national-park-equally-wed-LGBTQ-weddings-65-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"smiling white LGBTQ+ couple throw their hands in air after getting married under an apple tree at their outdoor summer wedding\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/outdoor-summer-wedding-in-acadia-national-park-equally-wed-LGBTQ-weddings-65-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/outdoor-summer-wedding-in-acadia-national-park-equally-wed-LGBTQ-weddings-65-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/outdoor-summer-wedding-in-acadia-national-park-equally-wed-LGBTQ-weddings-65-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/outdoor-summer-wedding-in-acadia-national-park-equally-wed-LGBTQ-weddings-65-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/outdoor-summer-wedding-in-acadia-national-park-equally-wed-LGBTQ-weddings-65-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/outdoor-summer-wedding-in-acadia-national-park-equally-wed-LGBTQ-weddings-65-585x877.jpg 585w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/outdoor-summer-wedding-in-acadia-national-park-equally-wed-LGBTQ-weddings-65-scaled.jpg 1708w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>OUR ADVICE FOR ENGAGED LGBTQ+ COUPLES<\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t be afraid to have exactly the event you want and only invite the people that nurture and support your relationship! And take advantage of the fact that some people don\u2019t know what to expect from your wedding. You are unburdened by traditional expectations and therefore you can choose to do only the things that feel meaningful to the two of you. For instance, Claire had both of her parents walk her down the aisle while Amelia preferred to walk in with her aunt who officiated the wedding.<\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/outdoor-summer-wedding-in-acadia-national-park-equally-wed-LGBTQ-weddings-42.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"LGBTQ+ couple recessional at their outdoor summer wedding in Maine.
