“The expo is very much like a traditional bridal affair, with exhbitors there for couples to meet and hopefully hire,” says Cindy Sproul, initiative coordinator and co-founder of the Rainbow Wedding Network. “But, we take out the awkwardness for couples when planning their weddings.”
The expo features over 50 gay-friendly businesses from the wedding, travel, gifts, real estate and other industries with whom couples to plan their upcoming nupitals. There will also be a fashion show, and several speakers and presentations about gay marriage equality, among other topics.
“This is a great time for couples to come out and find screened professionals that are excited to work with them and plan their weddings from beginning to end,” Sproul says. “And it’s a great time to come out and support marriage equality.”
The expo is free and takes place from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. For more information, visit the website.
