Modern Weddings are no longer limited to traditional wedding ceremonies and rights. A recent wedding in New York City showcased the beauty of unconventional ceremonies by two men, Jerald Creer and Kent Williams, who don’t conform to conventional gender roles.
Jerald Creer wore a white suit and bow tie, and Kent Williams wore a black suit and bowtie on their wedding day. Their decision to refuse rigid gender labels reflects the growing trend towards non-binary relationships, as couples breaking barriers in the United States marry in ways that are more and more inclusive.
As one of the few gender-fluid marriages in New York City, the Creer/Williams union represents a new level of freedom and unity in the wedding industry. This couple shattered many traditional norms, choosing to leave off rings entirely and the crowd confetti-raining instead of any symbolic ceremony ritual.
At the Gardens of Prince George in Lower Manhattan, the couple, solemnly embracing in non-binary style, plend from local eateries, sampled cocktails and explained what love was.
The couple exchanged heartfelt declarations of love, sharing why they admired each other so deeply. And though they weren’t bound by traditions or strict wedding values, their union was imbibed with feelings of warmth and kindness.
At a traditional wedding, where older traditions and conventions might rule, it’s easy to see why modern couples are looking to reinvent their vows. These couples are searching for ways to reflect deeper, spiritual meanings in their marriage, and events like this do provide ways to weave that sense of sacredness into the ceremony.
The Glowing Greenery, sweet floral trees, and blooming floral arches adorning the wedding, created a radiant ambiance throughout the Gardens of Prince George. Unique decorations set the stage for a uniquely tender and romantic affair, in which love was celebrated without prejudice or boundaries.
These couples are throwing down the gauntlet for the wedding industry and are challenging the established norms in weddings that elevate privilege to an unreasonable extent. They’re proving that weddings are at their core, all about love and kind unity of people; a celebration of balance, harmony and alignment that restores health and creates good fortune for couples in bad luck.
The Creer/Williams union is a perfect example of that; a meaningful ending to a beautiful wedding story.
In a time of political turbulence, greater fascist regimes, and in heightened times of intolerance, weddings like this give us hope that we can overcome these prejudices.
The power that the couple demonstrated by having the freedom to love and celebrate themselves goes a long way toward advancing inclusive, progressive values – and sets an example for people around the world.
The New York Times reported that the fresh buzz surrounding their union is because “it seems to be.” That speculation was confirmed by the families’ PR reps, who spoke highly of the couple and their families.
In the end, love Win, and it’s an enormous beast, a thing far mightier than the prejudices of others. And it’s this unifying force that makes for real commitment and real relationships.
In the end, we can all learn a lot from this beautiful couple, from their inside and outside the box ceremony. They remind us that the vows we take, the rituals we share – and the depth of our love –are always within reach.
We must remember that these things echo the rhythms of our hearts, as well as the fragility, the urgency and the rapture of all that we most long to understand. And that – to love – is itself a kind of story, a narrative that is at once old and new, and forever the same.
No jury could find guiltier, or sweeter, than the stories we discover about love, kindness, and unity. And for every right that love sets us free, there is a bond, spoken or unspoken, that keeps us whole.
This union was one for happiness, for life, and for love. And it served to last, to stay, and to glow with sweetness forevermore.
