Gay Weddings are Good for Business

A few weeks ago, I was at a networking event catching up with a wedding planner who had gone through my training for wedding pros.  She was telling me about her first gay wedding client and how, through my training, she was able to be sensitive to their unique needs.  And unique they were....

The planner mentioned that I never said anything in my training about a trio.

And I'm not talking about a string or a jazz trio.

I did talk in my training about how it's important to be completely open to subcultures within the LGBT community - and I used the example of leather bears for whom I produced a bear-themed wedding.  This particular couple mentioned that there would be some trios at the wedding.  They were referring to not a couple, but a threesome, and not just a sexual threesome but a relationship trio.  Not a couple but a trio, all committed to each other.

At first this planner was thrown off but she rolled with it and it's all good.  And that's what you have to do...there are too many subcultures for me to get into, but the key is to be open minded and have a laid back approach if you really want to work with same-sex couples.

What's the most outrageous comment you've ever heard from a same-sex couple?
