said of first-place finisher Washington: “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.”
Buenos Aires: “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.”
New York City: “'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.”
