Gay Wedding Gear is a site that I run in my spare time that shares ideas and thoughts and opinions I have about everything from Gay Weddings to Gay Travel and more. The thing is that it started as a wedding site only but then I had more to say so I went off onto random tangents like rants and raves and the travel sections and soon it became a huge site with over 1000 pages. I then needed a way to pay for the site so I found sponsors and stores that I have been in contact with either directly or through a friend. With these stores, I put up products that I love or think are pretty cool and recommend them to you, or I put up banner ads and text links for the stores on non sales or product oriented pages and when you click the links and make a purchase, I get a small part of the sale which is how I pay for the site. However, certain stores like Beau Coup and Bachelorette.com I have other relationships with and have met in person so I also feel comfortable recommending them sometimes for a commission and sometimes for free. Not all of my ads or links or recommendations pay me, but some do and I thought you should know and that way if you also enjoy what I write here and enjoy the site, you might want to click the links again and make a purchase….except for the Ads By Google, only click those if the ad interests you and you actually want to see or buy the product mentioned.
Anyways, thank you for reading gayweddinggear.com and we are happy to have you come back again and again.
