Argentina Legalizes Gay Marriage, Becomes Next Destination Wedding Hotspot
Today, Argentina legalized same-sex marriage, making it the first South American country (and a very Catholic one, at that) to do so. Aside from this being excellent for locals who are ready to take their relationship to the final step, we immediately thought: destination weddings!
For gay couples in America, the typical idea was to run for the border to Canada, have a destination wedding there where it is legal, and head back down into the States as a married pair. And then more US states came over to the rainbow side by also legalizing same-sex marriage, and—ignoring the California crisis—some of the world's biggest powers, too.
Countries like South Africa, Iceland, and the bulk of Europe have completely legalized same-sex marriage, and now with the Argentina joining the fold, couples finally have a good range of destination wedding options. We bet package deals from tour operators in Buenos Aires will spring up in no time, but whether you're in the wilds of Vermont or the heart of BA's Palermo district, the fact of the matter remains that freedom of choice is getting closer to becoming the norm.
