(Reuters) - The steadily increasing stream of states and countries
legalizing gay marriage has dramatically changed the lives of LGBT people
and their loved ones in recent years.
In honour of the growing number of places to celebrate lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender nuptials, online travel adviser Cheapflights (www.
cheapflights.com) has come up with its top 10 list of gay wedding
destinations. Reuters has not endorsed this list:
1. Washington, D.C. USA
Although gay marriage was only first legalized in D.C. on December 18, 2009,
America's capital has long possessed a large LGBT population. As such,
America's capital has no dearth of gay-friendly neighborhoods and hotels for
your wedding festivities. Imagine a rooftop reception with panoramic views
of the city - you and your beloved a part of the history of America
beginning to make good on its promise of "equality and justice for all."
2. Montréal, Quebec, Canada
Since Paris has yet to legalize gay marriage, Montreal is the next best
thing. With beautiful parks, fantastic cuisine, a raucous nightlife and an
unrivaled atmosphere of convivialité, Montreal is a perfect place to say, "
I do." In fact, it's so charming you might even want to stay on for your
honeymoon. Plus, the city's close proximity to Mont Tremblant is an added
bonus if you'd like to get away for skiing in the winter or exploring of the
great outdoors in summer months.
3. Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Netherlands was the first country in the world to legalize gay marriage
- on April 1, 2001. With a plethora of beautiful churches, five-star hotels,
international cuisine and charming streets and canals - to say nothing of
the museums, galleries and monuments - your guests will be eternally in the
palm of your hands if you invite them to your big day in Amsterdam.
4. Madrid, Spain
Considering the country's strong ties to the Catholic Church, Spain's
legalization of gay marriage in 2005 surprised many. Nonetheless, the lively
whirlwind of Spanish culture, art and architecture sets an inimitable
backdrop for the big day. From jaw-dropping cathedrals to top cuisine and
drink to the sexy roll of the Spanish "r" in the streets, few other cities
light up romance like Madrid.
5. Provincetown, Massachusetts, USA
Provincetown is the Fire Island of Massachusetts. With quaint bed and
breakfasts dotting the coastal town's narrow lanes, fantastic restaurants
and gay nightlife, "P-town" is a must-visit destination year-round. Add in
gorgeous beaches and a vibe of utter acceptance, and Provincetown climbs the
ranks among the best gay wedding destinations in the world.
6. Stockholm, Sweden
Sometimes referred to as the "Venice of the North" because of its location
at the mouth of Lake Mälaren, Stockholm is renowned for its natural
beauty and clean air. Waterways, parks and green spaces make up a large
percentage of the city's space. It is also a highly sophisticated city with
many classy restaurants, bars, shops and hotels. Though the winters are cold
, the city's beauty is breathtaking - there's even an ice hotel if you
really want to stay cool on your wedding day.
7. Buenos Aires, Argentina
Home of hip Latin beats and merrymaking, Buenos Aires is a bustling city
that combines a modern skyline with the ornate architecture of the past.
With a great deal of flair and style to be found on almost every corner, a
culture that imbues even the mundane with great passion, and no shortage of
great clubs and restaurants, your guests will not soon forget your "I do" in
Buenos Aires.
8. New York City, New York, USA
"Finally!" many thought when the great state of New York legalized gay
marriage in July 2011. What better destination can you imagine for getting
married and celebrating afterward? Imagine being high atop the city that
never sleeps in any number of marvelous hotels, toasting your husband or
wife and family? And when it's time to boogie down and celebrate, you've got
the entire Big Apple to roam about in. (And with the New York subway,
guests needn't fret about driving and transportation after a few glasses of
bubbly!)
9. Reykjavik, Iceland
Often referred to as the "nightlife capital of the north," Reykjavík is
like nothing you've ever experienced. Aside from the exciting nightlife,
Reykjavik has a well-cared-for outdoor environment, with many geothermal-
heated outdoor pools, beautiful parks and green spaces. However, if it's an
enchanted wedding you really crave (and as long as you and your guests are
clad in parkas), it's Reykjavik's Northern Lights that will make your
special day truly one of a kind.
10. Oslo, Norway
Like in other Nordic gay wedding destinations, in Oslo you are very close to
nature. Hiking, skiing, boating and swimming are all within a stone's throw
of the city. And within the city center, you have your pick of beautiful,
modern hotels, sidewalk cafes and one-of-a-kind shops and restaurants. Even
here, though, nature is all around with an abundance of trees, parks,
fountains and green space. Search and compare cheap flights to Oslo.
