37: Mason & Jay on Redefining Marriage

On today’s episode of Do You Take This Man? soon-to-be-married couple, Steven and Ryan share their story as bisexual polyamorous man and trans man who found in each other, the one. And, if there is one thing that this episode will teach is that vulnerability, negotiation, honesty and communication are the bedrocks of every relationship. We have a lot to learn from our bisexual and trans brothers. And no matter how queer as folk each of us is, it all comes down to a first dance and a family van with the man of our dreams.

On this episode of Do You Take This Man? we are talking vows. And ceremonies. And toasts. Because there is nothing more essential to making your wedding unique than the words you share at it. We are joined by Steven Greitzer, founder of Provenance, the online service dedicated to helping you find what to say when you walk down the aisle and raise a glass. Don't go it alone when it comes to expressing your love to the man of your dreams. Turn to Provenance.co.
