Gino Meriano is something of an expert on how to plan a big gay wedding. Or a small one. Or even one without a venue.
His motto, always: think outside the box. With gay weddings, says Meriano, ‘there are no rules or regulations.’ He encourages couples to find something unique to them, ‘to add a wow factor to your wedding.’
Take the lesbian couple who, instead of having a guest book, brought in a five-foot cherry tree, and asked each guest write their thoughts and wishes on a note card and tie it to one of the tree’s branches.
Or that aforementioned wedding with no venue, where a gay couple hired a number of posh vehicles including four limos and a Daimler and then proceeded to drive all over London with their guests, stopping at different sites and restaurants for photos and general revelry.
“With straight weddings, there’s a history to it all isn’t there?” says Jean Hunt, who publishes the book and online directory, Gay Wedding Organizer. “With gay weddings, you’re kind of making the history as you go along.”
