Wedding movie! Academy Award Nominated Drama- “After The Wedding”

by

WEDDING MOVIE OF THE WEEK

Hey y’all! been quiet for a bit, and a long time since our last film recommendation. We’re back with a new wedding movie- an Academy Award nominated Danish film: After The Wedding.

Now I’m not gonna lie, this one is not a feel good fuzzy type deal. But it does speak to the greater issues of how we relate to each other as people. I recommend the film along with some kleenex and a friend for coffee and discussion afterwards. Have honor attendants in other states watch with you and skype! Definitely worth seeing, but be ready for a heavy film.

Our First Gay Wedding in The Land Of The Free, And The Home of The Brave.

On July 4th we celebrated My Little Flower Shop’s first gay wedding! Embracing this new freedom on Independence Day was incredibly symbolic.

Here’s our take: Gay weddings are weddings. Unqualified, no label required weddings. Bernabe_Young_Photography_by_Jessica_Fajardo_FeatureTB144_lowBecause now, LGBT people in love in the state of California have the same rights as anybody else, and having bravely fought for that freedom have the luxury of being just another couple getting married. And if we haven’t mentioned it, we LOVE weddings, and we adore our couples.  All of them.

So as far as we are concerned at My Little Flower Shop, “Gay Weddings” are weddings, like those of all our other clients getting married. They are…what’s the word I’m looking for? Oh yeah. Equal. 

Let Freedom Ring.

Be well, and love well.

Wedding Movie Wednesday Suspended – Supreme Court News

by

OK – yes, it’s Wedding Movie Wednesday, but what with the momentous events of this morning, I just can’t idly prattle on about wedding movies.  Today at the Supreme Court, we turned a corner as a country. All details aside, the bottom line is that love is love, and that a same sex couple getting married should cause no more uproar than any other two people (no comment from this Palm Springs florist on uproar caused by crazy families, everybody’s got those).

So,having overcome obstacles both dramatic and comical, we have a victory for love. I said no movie talk, but in the end, isn’t two couples embracing on the steps of the Supreme Court the Hollywood ending we all hoped for?

Be well, and love well. Finally EQUALLY well.
