Paterson's recent ruling in favor of recognizing same-sex marriages from other states.

This decision will have broad economic impact for New York, and help boost the wedding industry there considerably. We look forward to being a part and bridging couples with gay-friendly wedding professionals throughout the state.
Asheville, NC (PRWEB)October 12, 2008
RainbowWeddingNetwork.com celebrates the recent motion by New York Governor David Paterson toward greater tolerance in his state, adding an event to its Fall calendar focused on supporting same-sex couples throughout the New York area as they plan for their weddings. Preparations are well underway for the upcoming GLBTQ Wedding Expo in NYC. Over forty local wedding vendors will participate in the event that actively support equal rights in marriage. Other highlights will include Music, Fashion, Planning Tips, Samples and Informative Presentations about the issues concerning equality in marriage and adoption for the GLBTQ community. Admission is free, and all supporters of non-discrimination are encouraged to attend.
'This is a precedent,' says Marianne Puechl, co-owner of RainbowWeddingNetwork.com. 'It's a joyful time for couples who are residents of New York; they now feel more fully accepted as citizens under the law. They may travel out-of-state for their legal ceremony but they'll return home for their large-scale wedding and reception. The fact that they now have access to the full rights and responsibilities of marriage, despite state borders, is a true milestone. It's cause for celebration, and certainly time to bring real planning resources to couples throughout the state.' Puechl and her partner Cindy Sproul launched RainbowWeddingNetwork.com in 2000. To date, the company has produced 23 Expos all across America. Puechl continues, 'This decision will have broad economic impact for New York, and help boost the wedding industry there considerably. We look forward to being a part and bridging couples with gay-friendly wedding professionals throughout the state.'
The event in New York this October will include RainbowWeddingNetwork's new initiative, the Same Love, Same Rights® Mobile Marriage Summit. A rally and open forum for the public, those attending will have the opportunity to share their ideas on the issues and learn new ways to get involved both at the state and national levels, to enact mass change in favor of equal rights for the GLBTQ minority. Other Same Love, Same Rights® Expos have been scheduled for 2008 in Atlanta, St. Petersburg, Philadelphia and four cities throughout California.
Expo attendees will have the chance to mingle with dozens of screened, gay-friendly wedding professionals, as well as those in the travel, gift and home-planning industries, such as realtors, lawyers and adoption agencies. Married & engaged guests will be invited to add a photograph to the Commitment Photo Album,™ an ongoing project to document GLBTQ couples and their families throughout the nation.
Launched in 2000, RainbowWeddingNetwork.com (RWN) has grown to become the most extensive wedding resource for the gay and lesbian community in the United States. RWN produced its first GLBTQ Wedding Expo in 2003 and released the national Rainbow Wedding Network Magazine in 2006. To date, RWN has produced twenty-three different events in twelve states.

RainbowWeddingNetwork launched, in 2000, at the hands of partners Cindy Sproul and Marianne Puechl and, in 2003, expanded to begin producing LGBTQ wedding expos. The group's headquarters are located in Asheville, North Carolina, and is currently operated by a four-person team. RainbowWeddingNetwork does events all over the country with an event almost every month.
This was the 10th annual expo in Chicago, providing a space for people to check out a variety of LGBTQ-friendly vendors, including food, music, wedding venues, photography, floral, wedding officiants and property for future homes, among other areas and services.
'The mission of our expo is to connect LGBT couples with businesses who support equality and support the community,' said Lauren Stockard, event planner and marketing assistant of RainbowWeddingNetwork. 'We like to have more of a boutique expo. We feel that it's more personal and as you can see, it's a smaller expo, but the vendors and the couples get more one on one time with each other.'
This year's Chicago expo, a free event, welcomed about 30 vendors with over 400 people expected to attend ( based on online RSVPs ).
'I know sometimes at larger shows, vendors can feel like they're just throwing business cards at people because there are so many people, so this way they can talk and have a conversation and really get to know the couple and get an idea of what they're planning for their wedding and things like that,' said Stockard.
RainbowWeddingNetwork holds expos and also has an online directory with all LGBT-friendly, equality-supporting businesses.
'We reach out to businesses and field businesses and really make sure they are supporting equality,' said Stockard of how vendors are vetted for RainbowWeddingNetwork expos and the directory.
This year's event raffle had eight prizes including gift cards and gift baskets from different vendors that were present. The grand prize raffle giveaway was a full wedding ceremony valued at more than $2,500 for 30 guests at Pine Manor, courtesy of GayWeddingChicagoSite.com and Rev. Pam Magunson's wedding partners.
'I thought it was great,' Stockard said of the 2018 Chicago expo. 'I love doing the events because everyone's just so happy and they're planning such a special day and it's cool to have a little, tiny part in being able to help them meet these vendors and to plan such a big, special moment.'

In part, the Chicago webpage states, 'March for Our Lives Chicago includes the experiences of people of color, women, and LGBT individuals in our fight to make the streets safe for children again. In 2017, 3456 Chicago citizens were victims to gun violence. We cannot have one more.'
