❤️ this Contagious Events

Quite possibly my favorite thing to emerge from COVID-19 weddings is what's being dubbed the "sequel wedding" - I don't think it's getting enough credit, so help me spread the word because honestly, it's the silver lining coronavirus couples need right now.

Simply put, a sequel wedding is that elusive, "bigger celebration when it's safe to do so" - You see, many couples who opted to move forward with an intimate ceremony had to forgo that large celebration we were all planning for - but these couples KNOW there will be grand celebrations in due time, so they will have a second, larger celebration - the sequel wedding.

Why do I love this so much? So many reasons, but here are my top three -

First, it places so much more meaning into the ceremony. Suddenly, couples are faced with less pressure and are more free to speak to each other truly and freely without feeling like they have a grand audience. Think about it - if you're writing vows to your partner, you're going to choose your words carefully. The words you choose to share in front of immediate family and your closest friends will likely be more meaningful and personal than if you had an audience of 200 in attendance.

Second, sequel weddings give room for everything to have equal importance. I've always been a little perplexed by this shift in the industry where couples spend way more time and energy thinking about the celebration after the ceremony. Yes, it's true that your ceremony is only a small part of the day, but it's THE SINGLE REASON everyone comes together. Sequel weddings give a little more space for the couple to focus on the ceremony, and then frees up planning energy after to focus on the party.

Third, and a little less touchy feely - sequel weddings literally are saving the wedding industry right now. By postponing your larger celebration, you keep so many small businesses afloat and alive to see another year.

The decision said Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which makes it illegal for employers to discriminate because of a person's s*x, also covers s*xual orientation and transgender status.

If you are not familiar with the Loving v. Virginia Supreme Court ruling, there is no better time like the present, because today is !

Today marks the 53rd anniversary of the Supreme Court striking down state bans on in*******al marriage on June 12, 1967.

Some of the posts I've read today say it's hard to imagine a world in which love is illegal, but the truth is, we've all witnessed it. In fact, Loving v. Virginia was used to support same s*x marriage in Obergefell v. Hodges, the ruling that made same s*x marriage legal in all 50 states - just five years ago.

These last few weeks we have spent a lot of time reading, listening, reflecting, and educating ourselves and our family on racial injustice in our country. Lucent Wedding Films has ALWAYS stood by the mantra of “Love is Love”. No matter the color of your skin, your religious beliefs, or who you want to marry. We welcome ALL celebrations of love and would be honored to capture them for you. But for us, our words are meaningless without action. Last year we started an initiative to donate a portion of our booking fees to a charity. For all couples that book with us this year, we are donating to the ACLU, kicking it off with our own $250 donation to their efforts.

We hope all of our friends, families, and couples are doing well in this stressful time! With the COVID-19 pandemic we are all finding ourselves in new schedules/routines! Balancing the tasks of running our business and providing care for our two kids who are home is a new one for us, so bare with a slow down as we adjust to the new “normal”! But above all, stay strong, stay healthy, and send some love into the world!
