as well as small businesses
Love Wins! As you have witnessed and heard, The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of marriage equality, making same-sex marriage legal in all 50 states. This triumph, however, is not the only reason Americans are celebrating this weekend. Quartz recently published an article on how marriage equality is predicted to add $2.6 billion to the wedding industry alone.
So, caterers, florists, planners, bands, photographers, and all others involved in the industry, clear your schedules for the added marriages coming your way! In Texas alone, researchers have estimated that an upwards of 23,200 same-sex couples will tie the knot in the next three years. Those involved in the wedding industry in New York alone reported double the business after the state's passage of same-sex marriage in 2011.
Therefore, love was not the only thing that won this weekend, but small businesses as well :) .
