Trends in Same Sex weddings and LBGTQ weddings


Prosperity Mansion & Farm sees the following trends for same-sex marriages at their Frederick MD wedding venue. They include:


More guests and bigger wedding parties with LGBTQ couples inviting more guests to their weddings. – How lovely that same-sex / LGBTQ couples feel comfortable celebrating their wedding day with as many friends and family members as they like. It’s equally important that straight people being invited to LBGTQ / same sex weddings are happily accepting the invitation. Couples now feel safer then ever to celebrate their love openly and with all of the people that they care about the most.

  • Increasing parental involvement and support. Now that sexual orientation is no longer hidden deep in the closet and is far more open, families are typically more accepting. We now have many TV shows with openly gay actors, parades and generally LGBTQ individuals living their lives in the open. So, parents and the public in general see gays in many roles therefore are less frightened by old stereo types.

  • Sharing wedding news on social media. YES……. how lovely to feel happy and announce your upcoming nuptials everywhere. There are now save the date and wedding invitations specifically for same sex couples. There are same-sex cake toppers matching wedding cloths, songs and more. We recently had a 20 something year old man go down the aisle as the flower girl tossing petals. Fun and humor can come in many ways. What will make your day special?

  • Mixed-gender wedding parties. Now it's OK to truly choose who you want to be “best man” or “maid of honor “regardless of gender. It’s your day and you decide what makes you happy.

  • Decorating the wedding venue that reflects your sexual orientation- At Prosperity Mansion & Farm, we believe that every wedding should be a true reflection of the couple's unique journey and love story. Your special day deserves to be infused with your individuality, and we wholeheartedly encourage you to express your identity through thoughtful decorations and personalized touches that resonate with your style and values. Our enchanting outdoor and garden settings provide the perfect backdrop for showcasing your unique decorations, allowing your love to shine through in every detail. We are devoted to offering exceptional service, ensuring that every element of your celebration, including decor that represents your sexual orientation, is handled with the utmost care and attention. We invite you to schedule a tour of Prosperity Mansion & Farm, where you can envision your dream wedding, beautifully infused with your personal touches and surrounded by the love that defines you.

We do not mean to imply that there still aren’t segments of our culture that have many issues with most things that are different. My pastor is gay and married to a cop. They hid their sexual orientation for decades. Sadly, when my pastor “came out” to his last church he was fired. Can you imagine what it was like being a cop and hiding your love life from macho fellow cops. But I am happy to say that my pastor found a loving and accepting church and his husband did come out to fellow cops. They now live openly.

Over the 20 years that same-sex couples have been able to marry in the United States, there have been no negative effects on marriage, divorce, or cohabitation among different-sex couples, according to new report from RAND and UCLA. The study found that after states legalized marriage for same-sex couples, the number of marriages increased in those states at rates greater than what could be accounted for by the new marriages of same-sex couples alone.

The bottom line is that Prosperity Mansion & Farm offers an open and loving environment to all couples. Our Frederick Maryland wedding venue is a safe and accepting place to celebrate your most special day.
