On Wednesday, we all woke up to the news we hoped we wouldn’t. As I was browsing social media, of course I saw many of my friends posting about their grief and disappointment. But the other thing I saw – absolutely first thing – was LGBTQ+ folks in wedding planning groups asking, “Should we get legally married now, before Trump takes office in January?”

I’m a queer wedding planner who has been planning LGBTQ+ weddings since before Obergefell v. Hodges made marriage equality the law nationwide. I’m a queer person who’s experienced getting and being married at a time when it was legal in some states but not others. I’m a queer person who has personally protested in the streets for our right to marry. And I’m a queer person who watched what happened to marriages during the Prop 8 legal battle in California.

My answer is yes.
