Weddings are not only a celebration of love between the couple getting married—they’re also a gathering of the people who helped shape that love. Infusing gratitude into your ceremony and reception creates a warm, heartfelt atmosphere that honors your community, deepens the meaning of the day, and leaves your guests feeling appreciated and connected. For LGBTQ+ couples, gratitude can also carry the added weight of honoring chosen family, community resilience, and the generations who helped pave the way for marriage equality.
