“Being a queer couple and J being trans-masculine non-binary, there was no ‘bride’ or ‘groom’ at the wedding, so we didn’t want our ceremony to have any gendered traditions,” the couple tells Vogue.
In August 2018, Madeleine Gerrick ventured on her first-ever Bumble date with LGBTQ+ mentor and documentary executive producer J Winkelried at the bar Lovers of Today in the East Village of New York City. “We spent the first night we ever met drinking cocktails in the corner booth singing oldies together,” says J. Three-and-a-half years later, J planned a proposal that would lead them back to that pivotal spot in their romantic history.
“Being a queer couple and J being trans-masculine non-binary, there was no ‘bride’ or ‘groom’ at the wedding, so we didn’t want our ceremony to have any gendered traditions,” the couple explains. “We walked down together before meeting our respective parents, who walked us down the two aisles at the same time before meeting again at the chuppah.” As an extra special touch, the couple had musician Calum Scott sing “Biblical” throughout their procession.
