On this episode of Do You Take This Man? we are talking vows. And ceremonies. And toasts. Because there is nothing more essential to making your wedding unique than the words you share at it. We are joined by Steven Greitzer, founder of Provenance, the online service dedicated to helping you find what to say when you walk down the aisle and raise a glass. Don't go it alone when it comes to expressing your love to the man of your dreams.

California Governor Gain Newsom has unveiled a plan to cap oil refiner profits after accusing them of price gouging. Restaurant groups are pushing to overturn the California fast-food wage law. The Supreme Court is leaning toward voting in favor of a Christian website designer's right to turn away gay weddings. And Georgia's Senate runoff remains a question mark as Warnock and Walker go head-to-head today.

When I first thought about bringing my friend Kathryn Hamm onto the podcast, it was because of her pivot from LGBTQ issues to DEI – Diversity, Equality and Inclusion topics.

Usually I chat with wonderful wedding suppliers who share their wisdom from years of working in the wedding industry. This week, we switch things up and speak to a couple who 8 years ago were planning their perfect day.  Gavin and Ian look back on their special day(s) and share what made the occasion so special and what (if anything) they would do differently. A great listen for couples currently in the midst of wedding planning dilemmas.

After meeting through a mutual friend in 1993, Amy Walter and Kathryn Hamm knew early on in their relationship they’d both found the person they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with. Despite legal restrictions at the time, the two decided to declare their love in front of family and friends with a heartfelt commitment ceremony in 1999, a moment they now consider to be their “first wedding.” After seeing the limited amount of resources available to those planning same-sex weddings, Kathryn’s entrepreneurial mom founded GayWeddings.com, which Kathryn joined in 2005 as the company’s president and co-owner. Under Kathryn’s leadership, GayWeddings.com was acquired by WeddingWire. Fast forward to 2013, when Kathryn and Amy renewed their vows and united their family legally under the eyes of the law. (Same-sex marriage was legalized in Washington, DC, although it was still not recognized as legal in their home state of Virginia.) On this episode, the two share their unique experiences navigating wedding planning as a lesbian couple in the late ’90s and then again nearly 15 years later, highlighting how they discovered the true meaning of marriage and commitment along the way. This is their story. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's the sixth full episode of Put A Ring On It Podcast. We are BEYOND humbled to have Kathryn Hamm, publisher of GayWeddings.com, talking with us about same-sex weddings and reinterpreting what you see in the blogs and magazines in the wedding world. She helps to break down the core of wedding planning, ways you can personalize your wedding day, and how to be more inclusive of all communities. “When it comes to ‘capturing love,’ especially when a same-sex couple is the subject, rules were also made to be broken. Reassembled. Reinterpreted. Revised. Repurposed. This is the gift that same-sex couples have introduced into the wedding trends of today.” - The New Art of Capturing Love, by Thea Dodds and Kathryn Hamm For show notes, goodies, and links mentioned - visit the Put A Ring On It website.
