What’s more fantabulous than a gay wedding!?!

From the moment the doors open, YOU – the wedding guests, have the opportunity to participate in the ceremony, trade zingers with Big Daddy, and dance the night away with members of the family.
Don’t forget to bring your appetite! The festivities are complete with a Southern/Puerto Rican feast including Arroz Con Pollo, Shrimp & Grits, Succotash, Wedding Cake, and a Champagne Toast!
