After seeing that the Queen Mary had a setup for weddings, and then looking into it online and seeing that there’s a whole operation around weddings on the ship, and inclusive of LGBT ceremonies, we had to see about it for ourselves. Well, Saturday afternoon was when we could get an appointment with the team, and to make a potentially long story short, we really really liked what was available. Especially great was that the price was pretty damn right. I’m not going to go too crazy with details at this point as there aren’t any, but Larry & I feel pretty good about this as a venue. Stay tuned.
