This was the first same-sex, British-Chinese wedding either of us had ever seen, let alone thrown. Everyone was invited; from the first openly transgender member of a White House administration, to Mel’s elderly aunt from Hong Kong, to homophobic Brexiteers, who, against all odds, turned up to a lesbian wedding, full of immigrants, in Spain!
To LGBT+ couples who are struggling with planning (because there are zero, proper resources for us that aren't just straight-run wedding blogs suggesting we buy a rainbow cake, let alone anything for gay Chinese people trying to adapt traditions like the tea ceremony or door games), you aren’t alone! We are pioneers of a powerful symbol of the evolution of marriage into a fairer, more egalitarian institution.
