Even before the Passing of Washington's same-sex marriage referendum (R-74), on November 6th, Seattle's finest purveyors of great weddings, confident equality will prevail, awarded a free gay wedding to San Francisco couple, Jason Dorn and Brian Lammers. The lucky lovers exchanged vows on October 21, 2012 at Seattle's famous Landing Banquet & Lounge.

After 12 years together the grooms-to-be and gay rights advocate couple's wedding, has been a long time coming. "We entered this contest in hopes of winning so our wedding can lend support to a favorable outcome of R-74. We fought Prop 8 in California and lost, so It's important to us to help Washington win the battle here," says one of the grooms, Jason Dorn, back in October.
The Site, freegaywedding.com, was started by five creative people, all with hands in the wedding & events arena, this experience is one that we all are so happy to embrace.

Clane Gessel came up with the idea to do a wedding sweepstakes. When partnering with Clane Gessel, photographer extraordinaire, they came up with the idea of a gay wedding because of our anticipation and support of the upcoming vote to pass same sex marriage in Washington State. When you add in the creative juices of Tiffany Brown, co-owner of Seal it with Love, Lori Pacchiano, founder of High Maintenance Bitch, and the style of DJ Nate Riley.
