Nick and I are planning a civic ceremony - as soon as a date has been arranged we will post it here!

I would most definitely attend, if invited! (and have been to a couple already)
What I wear is totally dependent on the venue, just like any other wedding. If they're getting married on the beach I wouldn't wear the same thing as if they were getting married by a JP indoors at a hall.
I would try to get something that suits the happy couple. If I were invited to the wedding, I would hope I know them enough to get them something they like!
Advice.....remember this feeling! Through good times and bad, when you're upset or content remember the feeling of fighting for AND GETTING something you deserve. Remember the happiness you shared TOGETHER simply by being together and fighting for what is right!
Good luck to you! I wish you all the best!

Would you attend one?
Heck yes! I know several couples that I'd love to attend their partnership!!!
1. What would you wear?
The same that I would wear to a heterosexual union.
2. What would you consider an appropriate gift?
Whatever is in their registry or a gift card.
3. What advice would you give the happy couple?
communicate and compromise!

Yes i would attend, i think its great that gay and lesbian people can finally express their love for each other in this way, just as straight couples can.
1. i would wear a suit, probably, or just smart casual, depending on how posh you wanted the event to be.
2. An appropriate gift?? Erm, i think maybe a TV or something, summat like that.
3. Advice?? Never take each other for granted, and never let the love die
Hope tht helped, Xx

I will be attending my first same sex marriage in a couple of weeks. My good friend is marrying her college sweetheart. I have no problems with them or any other gay/lesbian person/couple. They are having a garden wedding and am planning on wearing what would be appropriate for a garden wedding - I am not taking into consideration that it is a "gay" wedding. To me a wedding is a wedding.

hey i would wear something smart but pretty spose it doesnt matter if what colour either as the couple are probably really relaxed when it comes to dress code. my partners brother is having a gay wedding in july and we found it hard to get a really good pressie that was different but traditional aswell. in the end we bought a guest book and took pictures of close family and friends and got them to write a little message in it sort of as a keepsake of everyone who was there that day. and as for advice we are giving them some cheeky advice as its his brother its "always make sure there is a spare key for the handcuffs" but otherwise on a serious note just wish them the best and show all us how a marriage can last good luck hope this helps.

I would most certainly go to a commitment ceremony if I were invited. I would dress according to how formal their ceremony is and no doubt they are registered at a few stores for gifts. If not, I usually give a lovely picture frame suited to the couple's style so they can display the ceremonial picture in their home and I wish them a long successful life together filled with love and good times.

My answer to all 3 questions is: the same as any other wedding. Wear what's comfy, give the couple something they need/want, advise them to love, tolerate and be friends. Or - for q3 - mind my own business, they've found the person they want to be with - what right do I have to give advice?

well first off congrats!!! a weddings a wedding no matter who's getting married you obviously love each other, and ignore those bad mind people and their comments!!! what would i wear??? dunno something really special after all it is a wedding certainly wouldn't wanna outdo the bride (or the grooms!!) how's that work lol, and my advice to you take each day as it comes, don't have any great expectations and you won't be disappointed, and stay happy, the min you feel like its not what you want be honest and chat about the silliest of feelings and work together. x

Yes I would attend and I would treat it as any other wedding.
I would wear what is appropriate for the formality of the occasion. I would buy you something off of your registry if you have one. And the advice I would give is don't listen to those people who say what you are doing is wrong.

The world is changing and I think people have to change with the times. Being gay today is as normal as anything else in life. Gay couples should no longer feel afraid or frighten.
