Minnesota bride Natasha Frost made an emotional statement at her wedding and mixed up the flower toss tradition a little.
Frost decided to pass her bouquet to her sister, Nitara Frost, and her lesbian partner, Tabitha. She used the moment to urge her guests to help make same-sex marriaged legal.
She said: "My sister and Tabitha exchanged vows seven years ago, and they have this beautiful family.
"What I wanted to do is give them the bouquet in the hopes that Minnesota lawmakers will actually recognise the right for everyone to marry and we're hoping that happens this year so we can celebrate the final sister's wedding."
Natasha's speech was met with applause.
The video's YouTube description reads:
On April 20th, 2013 at Natasha Frost and Tony Friesen wedding they decided to make a statement with the flower toss. Natasha Frost, the bride, handed the bouquet to her sister Nitara Frost and Tabatha Trahan ( Nitara's partner of over 7 years) and their five children.
They urged all attendees to contact their Minnesota state legislators to let them know they want all MN couples to have the freedom to marry. Nitara and Tabatha exchanged rings over 7 years ago and then started their family which includes 5 beautiful children.
The couple is committed to each other in the families eyes and is waiting for the time they can be legally married. The bills are SF925 and HF1054 please contact your MN legislators and share so others do as well.
Do not limit the freedom to marry. Thank you.
