More than 250 people attend gay and lesbian wedding expo in Providence

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- More than 250 people attended a gay and wedding lesbian expo, believed to the first of its kind in the state, held Sunday afternoon at the Providence Marriott Downtown.

The event, sponsored by Rainbowweddingnetwork.com, attracted about 32 vendors. Marianne Puechl, co-owner of Rainbowweddingnetwork, said there could have been more. "There was a lot of excitement from wedding professionals in the area about the show," she said.

The idea was to link gay couples considering marriage with gay-friendly businesses, who included florists, photographers, musicians, DJs, caterers, limo services and wedding venues.

Rhode Island's General Assembly legalized gay marriage in May. Last Thursday was the first day same-sex couples could get married in the state.
