Hola to our beautiful brides! Now that the COVID-19 restrictions are being eased out, how are you planning to go forward? Extra cautiously or nonchalantly? Are you planning to have a summer bar-be-que in your backyard with a couple of friends or family members and begin socializing on a minimal scale? Or are you planning to go out for a new-and-improved experience of dining with your fiance? Or are you both planning on taking a ‘safe-cation’, giving in to the temptations of domestic travel? Well, as the country is coming to terms with the effects of the pandemic and returning to normalcy, one step at a time, we understand that the only thing you want is for your wedding to happen! Well, if you are one of those couples who’ve had their wedding postponed to the fall, winter, or coming years, the silver lining is that you get extra time to prepare for your dream wedding! Or if you fall among the rest who are looking at a wedding anytime soon, yay, we are absolutely delighted for you! For, we have brought tons of wedding inspiration that’ll help you through this journey of wedding planning. And in case you are waiting for your proposal, you’ve come to the right place. We have something for you too in our treasure box! Well, we are here with a genuine idea to help you in making your magical, dreamy wedding come to life. 

If we believe in one thing, it is that love has no limits. Just like the joy brought by the hues of a rainbow after a gush of summer rains, every time we see one of the colors of the Pride Community fills our lives with a burst of love and passion. A wedding is a momentous occasion in anyone's life, but every ring exchanged and every vow uttered in an LGBT marriage or same-sex marriage especially feels powerful as it breaks through adversity.

Weddings are finally happening! And what better occasion to celebrate your happiest day than the Fourth of July weekend? From elopements to minimonies, micro weddings, and backyard weddings, intimate weddings are à la mode! And if you’re planning to get married this weekend, you could add some surprise elements into your wedding that are oh-so-Americana! The Independence Day weekend has been a favorite for weddings since ages, and celebrity couples like Mila Kunis-Ashton Kutcher and Julia Roberts-Danny Moder added some Hollywood glam to this list. 

Here comes the summer with the promise of fireworks and parades with the Fourth of July holiday, but in a slightly milder form this year. With social distancing still being the mood of the country (and the world!), Independence Day plans have taken a mellower turn all over. Ice cream socials, neighborhood fairs, and open-air concerts have been replaced by virtual get-togethers. And Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks is one of the grandest things that we look forward to - stunningly iconic and always nostalgic! So, how are your Fourth of July plans coming along? From Tuca & Bertie to Nigella Lawson, have you explored it all, keeping up with the spare time at hand? What does your DIY cake look like - an American flag cake or  S’mores Layer cake or a basic summer peach pie? Well, whatever it may be, we’re sure there is a little bit of excitement even though the celebrations might be smaller or virtual, unlike the past years. Nevertheless, these little moments give you a reason to celebrate togetherness with your loved ones. And as you wait for your wedding to happen, it’s days like these that make you look forward to something. Something hopeful and celebratory. 

As Ryan Gosling says in The Notebook, ‘So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s gonna be really hard. We’re gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, every day, we assume you have a similar current situation and most importantly, a similar outlook. Love is never easy, especially when you are this close to being together forever. Every passing day makes you long for each other even more and if you are together, it makes you wait for that day when your couplehood can be officiated.
