EMERALDWEDDINGS TO LAUNCH WEBSITE FOR ALTERNATIVE WEDDINGS AND COMMITMENT CEREMONIES

EmeraldWeddings announced today the impending launch of the first full service national website for couples planning alternative weddings and commitment ceremonies. The only comprehensive site for gay, lesbian and transgendered couples planning weddings in the United States will launch on the World Wide Web.

RainbowUnions.com follows in the footsteps of the highly successful EmeraldWeddings.com, which will celebrate its first anniversary online with the launch of this second, innovative website. Each month, thousands of couples log onto www.emeraldweddings.com to obtain advice, seek vendors and locate a myriad of resources to help them plan wedding ceremonies and receptions in the Greater Seattle area.

Originally, EmeraldWeddings planned to first launch a similar regional website for commitment ceremonies, followed by a national site. However, the lack of national resources for couples planning alternative weddings has prompted the company to move up plans to launch RainbowUnions.com.

Over the past few years, the Internet has been flooded with national websites providing resources for engaged couples planning traditional, heterosexual weddings, while excluding couples planning alternative weddings and commitment ceremonies, states site creator Alayna Setter, a certified wedding specialist. RainbowUnions provides a central location where every couple can locate resources and non-discriminatory vendors to assist with planning their special occasion.

A major function of RainbowUnions.com is to provide a classy, informative resource where gay, lesbian and transgendered couples can locate reputable vendors for their event. Couples who visit the site can be assured that the businesses listed want to work with them and are actively seeking their patronage. This eliminates the unnecessary discrimination that many suffer when trying to secure products and services.
