Their engagement took place in Las Vegas. \u201cThe first trip Robbie and I ever took together as a couple was to Las Vegas on Memorial Day weekend in 2014,\u201d says Chris. \u201cFast forward to 2022; we ended up going on the same trip (destination and weekend) with my brother and his girlfriend, so I decided this would be a good time to finally propose. I bought an engagement ring, and I tried to find the perfect moment throughout the weekend to pop the question, but no moment ever felt quite right. Finally, with time running out, I just decided to propose in our hotel room on Memorial Day right before we left to go to the airport. I nervously gave a short speech, got down on one knee, and asked him to marry me. And he said yes!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/two-grooms-get-ready-together-interacial-gay-wedding-published-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-3.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"two-grooms-get-ready-together-interacial-gay-wedding-published-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-3\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"two-grooms-get-ready-together-interacial-gay-wedding-published-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-83172\" src=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/two-grooms-get-ready-together-interacial-gay-wedding-published-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-3.webp\" alt=\"two-grooms-get-ready-together-interacial-gay-wedding\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/two-grooms-get-ready-together-interacial-gay-wedding-published-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-3.webp 1200w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/two-grooms-get-ready-together-interacial-gay-wedding-published-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-3-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/two-grooms-get-ready-together-interacial-gay-wedding-published-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-3-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/two-grooms-get-ready-together-interacial-gay-wedding-published-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-3-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/two-grooms-get-ready-together-interacial-gay-wedding-published-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-3-585x390.webp 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/black-and-white-wedding-photo-two-grooms-get-ready-gay-wedding-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-4.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"black-and-white-wedding-photo-two-grooms-get-ready-gay-wedding-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-4\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"black-and-white-wedding-photo-two-grooms-get-ready-gay-wedding-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-4\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-83164\" src=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/black-and-white-wedding-photo-two-grooms-get-ready-gay-wedding-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-4.webp\" alt=\"Black and white photo of two grooms getting ready together for their wedding.

Chris and Robbie, accompanied by their wedding party, were introduced by the emcee and shared their first dance to Monica\u2019s \u201cFor You I Will.\u201d This was followed by a poignant moment as Chris danced with his aunt in honor of his late mother, and Robbie shared a sweet dance with his own mother. The couple expressed their gratitude to their guests for their enduring love and support over the years.<\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/beach-wedding-table-decor-blue-coral-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-6.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"beach wedding table decor with slate blue table cloth and coral napkins\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"beach wedding table decor with slate blue table cloth and coral napkins\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-83163\" src=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/beach-wedding-table-decor-blue-coral-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-6.webp\" alt=\"beach wedding table decor with slate blue table cloth and coral napkins\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/beach-wedding-table-decor-blue-coral-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-6.webp 1200w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/beach-wedding-table-decor-blue-coral-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-6-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/beach-wedding-table-decor-blue-coral-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-6-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/beach-wedding-table-decor-blue-coral-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-6-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/beach-wedding-table-decor-blue-coral-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-6-585x390.webp 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Dinner featured a delectable dual entree offering of pan seared Atlantic salmon with risotto and butter seared filet mignon with whipped potato, followed by touching toasts and the traditional cake cutting ceremony.

Like some of the straight couples vendors have dealt with, some of us may have difficult personalities; some of us may have crazy demands, but we&#8217;re all just people. If we had to give any advice, we would say when meeting with LGBTQ+ couples, bear in mind that many of us are a little apprehensive entering into a business relationship where our sexual orientation is spotlighted, especially if we&#8217;ve been mostly private about it in the past. Make sure that the people you work with (LGBTQ+ or otherwise) always feel safe, respected and accepted. A great way to do this is for vendors to highlight some of the diverse couples they&#8217;ve worked with on their websites and social media profiles.<\/p>\n<h3>What challenges did you face as an LGBTQ+ couple or LGBTQ+ marriers planning your wedding?<\/h3>\n<p>As far as outward challenges go, we can honestly say we were fortunate to have had very few. Our wedding planner, venue and vendors were all an absolute joy to work with. Never once were we made to feel like an &#8220;odd couple.&#8221; I&#8217;d say the only challenges were internal. We had some concerns about how our decision to go public with our union would be accepted by family and associates. For me, some of my more extended family didn&#8217;t know I was gay, but I knew they would be upset if I got married and didn&#8217;t invite them, so I just had to surprise them with the invitation.<\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/black-gay-man-and-white-gay-man-in-love-face-to-face-beach-wedding-equally-wed-aislinn-kate-photography-8.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"Interracial gay male couple smiling face to face with their arms around each other.
