What are the differences between gay and hetero weddings? Would you marry dressed in white or black? How about your boyfriend/girlfriend? Do colors mean anything in gay weddings?
Have not been to any gay weddings yet even though I'm a member of a church that does them (they've been legal in Canada since 2005) and I do know some married gay and lesbian couples. Interested to hear what people have to say.

I don't think there are any differences. Both hetero and homosexual couples alike either go the traditional route or do their own thing.

I went to a gay wedding once. It was summery beachside so the guys both wore white and cream/sand linen type stuff - still on the casual side but stylish. They didn't wear matching outfits or anything, but just complementary colours. Their wedding accent colours were light blue and chocolate. The whole thing was really nice - informal yet breezy/fun.
I have been fortunate to go to two gay weddings. The first was a super cool, laid back affair in Sweden a few years ago. This was probably the most unconventional wedding I've been to. The grooms wore matching shirts and shorts and the reception was in the most gloriously green forest I've ever seen.
At the second wedding the the brides wore none matching white vintage dresses. The day was far more traditional than first, but was also the most romantic and enjoyable weddings I've ever experienced. The sense of friendship and love was overwhelming.
