The highlight and one of the most enjoyable parts, leading to a LGBTQ wedding is the selection of marriage passages. Whether it is a wedding reading about love from song lyrics, movies or books. There is a sense of accomplishment. It is not an easy feat to come across gay wedding vows. Because texts use languages or pronouns to address genders. These gender appropriations do not fit your wedding style.

A gay wedding is very special and a bag of emotional roller coaster. So there are some questions you have to ask yourself. What kind of wedding do I want to have? What are the things I look for in wedding passages? Where do I get inspirational wedding vows that we would both love?

Commitment poems, biblical passages, quotes, literature and other sources should resonate with compelling words. Words that define the depth of your relationship and the strength your love gives. If you have a thing for poetry use poems. If you're religious, use the scriptures.

If you are not religious, look to non-religious wedding readings and if none of all these appeal to you, there's always alternatives. Arrange for a friend who knows both of you very well, to give a befitting testimonial. The most important thing is that it's your day and your happiness comes first.

Traditional wedding passages we all know are all about the virtuous and submissive wife or the loving husband. This is a total opposition to a gay man's belief and it doesn't work for him. That is why we have written this article, to sift through the many readings and produce the right speech for your day.

What's not to do while reading or listening to a gay wedding passage? Lack of seriousness. Gay men have not enjoyed the luxury wedding opportunities and events of straight Couples. No Cinderella story or beauty and the beast fantasy wedding.

This is about two people whose love stood the test of time in the face of difficult situations. So, this is not a time for jokes, humour, mischief or sarcasm of any kind while reading your wedding passage. No one is saying you should keep a straight face, in fact, keep it up beat and stay happy. Better sweet than sour.
