Alright. There will be a free wedding, and you can do whatever you want later on. Free wedding, that's a dream.


 


Laura Seidman and Maria Garcia Alvarez have already had a commitment ceremony, but now they are getting ready to be officially married in California after the state's Supreme 1 Court overturned a ban on same-sex marriage.


 


Everybody's so supportive, and I think it's a sign of change. They joined other same-sex couples at California's first-ever gay wedding expo, which included tuxedos 2, wedding rings, cakes and florists 3, all catering 4 to the gay community. "We are trying to make a reflection of them and their likes, so when people walk into the celebration, they go, gosh! This looks just like Pete and John or, you know Mary and Sally, so that's what we aim to do. "


 


A new study estimates over the next three years, gay weddings will generate more than 64 million dollars in tax revenue for the State of California.


 


The business community has realized the immense market that is available to them now because of same-sex marriage, and I think that this is gonna show that they can really capitalize on it, and it's gonna totally change everything because this is the new summer of love.


 


And this summer Laura and Maria say it will count, "I think we are really gonna do it this time".
