B&A: an intimate and heartfelt LGBTQ+ Wedding at Rosewood San Miguel de Allende

On April 11, 2025, love took shape in a celebration that was deeply intimate and profoundly moving. Brian and Arturo’s wedding was not just a marriage ceremony—it was a luminous affirmation of what it means to love authentically. In the words of those who helped shape this story:

“It was a triumph of love over obstacles, of joy over judgment, and of identity over fear. Above all, it was a moment of emotional truth."

Framed by the terracotta-hued walls of the Rosewood Hotel in San Miguel de Allende, the atmosphere was built with a clear intention: to invite joy, mutual recognition, and the freedom to simply be.

The couple’s arrival set the tone for everything that followed. Hand in hand, they descended the staircase slowly, draped beneath a flowing red veil that moved in sync with the hushed stillness in the air. At the foot of the stairs, they mingled with their guests—welcomed by smiles, embraces, and glances that said more than any words ever could. The energy was warm, intimate, and soft.

The ceremony, officiated by both of their mothers, included a ritual both simple and powerful. One by one, guests approached a wooden box to place small slips of paper bearing handwritten words: health, love, clarity, abundance. Each message, filled with heartfelt intention, was stored as part of the couple’s shared promise.

After this, a short film was projected—documenting a journey the couple had taken to the Middle East, the very place where their engagement began. Woven with emotion, the footage bridged the personal and the present in a way that deeply moved all who witnessed it.

The evening continued with a candlelit dinner under a sky framed by lush floral arrangements in vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and pink. The decor, inspired by cultural elements from South Asia, blended the ceremonial with the sensorial. Every detail—from the tablescape to the music, from the lighting to the layout—created a space to celebrate freely and without restraint.

Brian and Arturo reminded everyone in attendance that when love is expressed without fear, its beauty becomes transformative.

The gallery from this wedding is available to revisit through images—because some stories, while told through words, are fully understood in the gesture, the gaze, and the color.
