Since having kids is usually complicated for LGBT folks, such situations are far from unusual and these situations are different from kids of divorce whose parents remarry. Naturally, there are legal issues - the law only recognizes two parents - but this can also affect the dynamic in a gay wedding!
Some things to think about if you find yourself working with such a client:
- will there be some kind of unique unity ritual during the ceremony?
- will other sets of parents be part of the wedding party?
- are there some additional formal family dances during the reception?
Whatever the case is, you've got to be flexible, open minded and roll with it all when it comes to these couples and families. You will surely hear things you've never thought of or heard of before. If you're curious, ask open ended questions. If you feel the need to make assumptions, keep you mouth shut so you don't accidentally offend anyone.
Have you ever worked with an LGBT couple with a blended family?
