This trusty guide-first published when legal same-sex marriage was just a dream-tackles all that and more. Here are tips on finding the perfect venue, vows, outfits, cake, kit, and caboodle, as well as:
Creative workarounds (Have you considered a home wedding?)
Budget-friendly shortcuts (Supplement the tiered cake with a sheet cake.)
The latest trends (How to buck the traditions that don't work for you.)
And sage wisdom, with a wink! (Rule #1: If you invite them, they may come!)

Reviews
"A beautifully conceived and illustrated book that tackles every aspect of the wedding ceremony with humor and pride.... Tongue-in-cheek hyperbole is the hallmark of this thorough and witty guide, and traditional couples as well as gays will find its lighthearted yet seriously knowledgeable tone refreshing.... this book [is] as much a statement about gay life as it is a nontraditional wedding plan
Patricia Holt, San Francisco Chronicle
"Now in its third edition, this guide offers 22 chapters of witty, wise, and practical advice, covering everything from domestic partnerships and the concept of marriage to how to cope (e.g., being gay in a straight world).... This indispensable book also contains illustrations, inspiring photographs, and an extensive list of web resources."
Library Journal
"[The book offers] hints on how to deal with family members (an obstacle at many weddings but sometimes more so in same-sex weddings) with humor, and shared experiences that will help any couple put their wedding into perspective."
Tony Bravo, San Francisco Chronicle
