Dancing With Her is the world’s first modern wedding magazine for lesbians.
That sounds mad, considering it’s 2017.
But hey, better late than never. And considering that a little over 100 years ago, Queen Victoria pronounced that lesbians didn’t actually exist, progress has been made.
What’s even better is that this magazine is based in Australia – a country on the verge of voting for gay marriage (the latest poll has shown that nearly 60% of the population want it legalised).
Dancing With Her is the brain child of Tara Baker and Arlia Hassell, an Aussie couple who celebrated their engagement last year.
When they tried to plan their nuptials, they found that all the wedding publications out there were overwhelmingly marketed towards hetero couples. And so they decided to fill the gap themselves.
The magazine is a celebration of women celebrating love, complete with real stories.
‘Although Australia does not yet have marriage equality, we know that women who are in same-sex relationships are choosing to celebrate their love and make a lasting commitment to one another, and that deserves celebrating,’ they say on their site.
The magazine formally launches on Tuesday but in the meantime, here are some of the beautiful shots and stories they’ve got online so far:
