Wedding invitation, 2016
Michelle and Lyn sent these invites to their wedding guests in 2016. They got married at the Unitarian Chapel on Westgate. There was an afternoon tea party at the Marmalade on the Square café afterwards.
Same-sex marriages became legal in 2014. Michelle and Lyn’s ceremony was one of the first religious lesbian weddings in Wakefield.
Michelle and Lyn's wedding had a mixture of Christian and Wiccan traditions. Michelle’s patterned wedding bow tie represented her Cape Town heritage. Lyn chose delicate jewellery and floral hair accessories.
