Riverside, CA UltimateGayWeddings.com July 9, 2009 – Responding directly to the recent gay marriage rights victories in Iowa, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, as well as the Massachusetts victory in 2004, UltimateGayWeddings.com launched sites for each respective state, featuring businesses and customized content that makes it easy and fun for gay and lesbian couples to plan their weddings.

Living by the company’s motto, “The Essence of Unity,” these sites have been created as sister sites to UltimateGayWeddings.com, providing an essential network of wedding information and resources, creatively designed to cater to the gay and lesbian Community within each state while providing business owners an affordable means to market to these buyers. Integrating customized content and providing uniquely integrated online communities where individuals and vendors from different states and countries can share their ideas, stories, photos, videos, products and services that are tailored towards “gay unity celebrations” - a key ingredient to UltimateGayWeddings.com’s overall business strategy.

“Our concept is simply to provide creative, compassionate, celebratory sites that connect and unify gay and lesbian couples living a committed lifestyle – we call that the ‘Essence of Unity’. Our vision is to provide a place for anyone, anywhere to share their stories, their dreams, their lives with others from around the globe,” states Rick Clemons, President of UltimateGayWeddings.com. “We’ve created, and continue to create, online networks and sites where visitors, community members and vendors can present and find information, contribute to the direction of the site(s), and participate in various online social networks – UltimateGayWeddings.com Community, FaceBook, and Twitter.”

The seven sites, as well as 44 more state specific sites to be launched later this year, share the “Essentials Vendor Directory,”-– a listing of gay and gay-friendly businesses and service providers, making it easier and more comfortable for gay and lesbian couples to plan their wedding, civil union, commitment ceremony, or domestic partnership celebration. In other words, UltimateGayWeddings.com and their sister sites make gay and lesbian wedding dreams come true.
