4. Wedding and Honeymoon Locales: When you plan about your honeymoon, it is essential that you are cautious about the locales you choose. Not all places are warm and friendly towards homosexual couples caressing each other and it will not be very comfortable for you to be in such a locale for your honeymoon too. Locales like Key West, Atlanta or Palm Springs are the ideal gay-friendly locales that will allow you to enjoy in a more relaxed way.
Tip: Do not worry if things do not go your way, you are bound to find a place where you could be officiated as per your choice. Just make sure you have support with you and that you do not get worked about the first couple of venues do not accept the nuptial. The same with choosing a honeymoon destination too. You have to know that you would be accepted where you go, so make it clear while booking so you do not get stressed later, god forbid if something were to go wring.

Tip: Make sure you have enough for the number of people attending you ceremony. It would be a good gesture as it will show people that your wedding is no different than a straight couple getting married. The requirement of the support is much needed and it would be great if you could do this from your side.
