Gay Wedding With 'Upstage The Grooms' Theme Goes Viral—And The Looks Are Fabulous

Drag Queen Mary Lou Pearl, AKA Blake Mitchell, shared some video from the fashion-forward wedding on Instagram—and fans were absolutely here for it.

Wedding dress codes can often prove confusing. How does one dress for a "black tie beach brunch," anyway?

Guests at a recent gay wedding in Rhode Island knew exactly what to do when they were challenged to "try to upstage the grooms."


One of the attendees, Blake Mitchell, made a video compilation that highlighted how they and other wedding guests rose to the challenge with flair.


Mitchell, who is also known as the drag queen Mary Lou Pearl, turned up in a purple jumpsuit and cape, and other guests were equally creative.

Of the varied interpretations of the dress code, Mitchell said:

“Guests were invited to wear looks that broke all the traditional wedding guidance. There were sequins, patterns, fringe and leather. One guest even dug out her own wedding dress and reimagined it for this event.”

Folks praised the novel theme.
