Love is love. And we LOVE love in ALL its forms. So, when President Obama declared June to be National LGBT Pride Month, we knew the perfect way to celebrate would be sharing our favorite Jewish LGBT weddings here on The Big Fat Jewish Wedding.
Get ready for a huge dose of gorgeous and lovely! See more LGBT weddings on our sister site The Big Fat Indian Wedding here.

Kate and Zach tied the knot in the Yale Law School courtyard surrounded by family and friends. The couple recited their own vows, as their siblings held the posts to the chuppah and their parents looked on.

Jennifer & Jessica arrived at their ceremony in a canoe and the rest of the wedding was equally as enchanting. Married by a rabbi under a chuppah held by family and friends, their summer wedding in Concord, MA was quite literally picture perfect.

This Four Seasons wedding in New York, NY was beyond gorgeous. The venue was completely transformed with cherry blossom trees and white garden roses. So romantic! We also love that their wedding cake was a funfetti Momofuku cake!

Bex + Cort
Bex and Cort’s beautiful and gender-neutral wedding ceremony in Portland, OR was the definition of untraditional – Bex wore a grey dress and bright shoes and the seating cards were silver cassette tapes. Even the Jewish elements of the wedding were bursting with personality. A friend made their kiddush cup and they sang alternative Shevah Brachot.

You can tell just from the photos that this wedding was full of love- love between Rachel & Nikki, love from their families, love from their friends. This Bethesda, MD wedding was absolutely gorgeous — and how awesome is this shot from the hora as they’re being lifted on chairs?!

This wedding is about to make us jump for joy. Thomas & Ryan were married in Atlanta, GA in an interfaith wedding embracing Jewish, Native American and Christian traditions.
