175: How Can 2 Grooms Ditch Destination Wedding Drama for P-Town Joy?

Have you wondered which traditions you should keep, ditch, or remix when you’re not a hetero-normative pair tying the knot?Jesse from New York reached DMd me on Instagram, asking for some tips on his same-sex destination wedding in Provincetown, Massachusetts.While this episode is tailored to Jesse’s questions, which include dilemmas around mixed gender bridal party titles, suggestions for outfits and styling, pitching the trip to his future in-law’s family (who are questioning the need, and expense, and why P-town feels more exciting, welcoming, and safe than NYC for the grooms), alternative traditions, and photo list suggestions. I know many hetero couples face the same family pushback when they dare to dream beyond the standard expectations or the usual local wedding celebration. It’s a tricky line to walk and there’s tough conversations to be had, but also real excitement and creativity about what’s possible, and how Jesse and his soon-to be-husband, Justin, can make their day their own. RESOURCES Ep 3: Tim & Simon - How to adapt hetero wedding traditions as a same-sex couple: https://open.spotify.com/episode/54FA4UyVJ4ViWimfqjP6r7Ep169: 169: What a Love Party Really Is (And How to Plan One You’ll Actually Enjoy) with Amy Shack Egan: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7b5eLPHpvAPVDth5zhygGYLauren Ashley Grenda: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOSMp68jkA1/?igsh=MXJ5N2FudHRieW84aQ==BCaptured by Ky Luu: https://www.instagram.com/p/DSHwYwbEqo7/?img_index=12&igsh=djdid21uZnViem9vhttps://www.instagram.com/reel/DDMX4vapMP_/?igsh=MTQyaHJobGl3OHBrMg==Send Unbridely a 90-second audio message on Speakpipe: https://www.speakpipe.com/unbridelypodcast*The Unbridely Podcast is sponsored by its listeners.
