Things I did as a type B feminist bisexual bride following my intuition that made people question my sanity
My gay husband walked me down the aisle 10/10 can recommend (he somehow knew what to wear even though he never got briefed)
My high school bestie did all my photos - I had no mood board or any idea what I wanted and said just have fun and they are perfect as u can see
I told our local florist to do whatever was in season and we wrapped the bouquet ourselves before the ceremony
We got a suite at an old hotel instead of a venue for the after party so we could do karaoke until 6am
We had the best man play Songbird as I walked down the aisle on the old piano in the courthouse - they said no one had played it for years and it was out of tune and so so perfect
We got matching engagement rings (I proposed back to him as a surprise) which we re-used as wedding rings
Our mums decided to make us a Victoria sponge sheet cake from scratch the week of the wedding and decorate it with their art practice and flowers from our garden (copper wire knitting)
My friends made a sacred witch dance for me and performed it in sync as a surprise for the first time together on the day - I also had bare feet for our first dance
People got up and sung Johnny Cash spontaneously 10/10
We organised the whole perfect thing in 6 short weeks because we couldn't wait to get married
My bridal party was called The Coven and my friend hosted it at her hair salon
They also did my hair for me as a gift
I had my dress flown from Montreal the week before, I only tried it on once before the day
My dear friend hosted a coven circle and ceremony for me instead of rushing to get ready right before the ceremony, to ground me
I did my own makeup
My husband also was walked down the aisle by his two hot non binary besties
Everyone saw me before the ceremony
We were offered a welcome to country and smoking ceremony by our dear friend, and they acknowledged the genocide and history of the stolen land we were on
We booked three big tables at a restaurant in Chinatown for our reception and got set menu
