In celebration of the second anniversary of the legalization of marriage equality nationwide, The Knot teamed up with Q.Digital to share the top trends of same-sex weddings in the United States.

The results, taken from 821 LGBT respondents who are married or engaged to be wed, give a peek into what wedding traditions are important to queer people.

"Today’s couples want a personalized celebration that reflects their unique style and personalities together," said Kellie Gould, editor-in-chief of The Knot. "To-be-weds are opting for mixed-gender wedding parties, personalized processionals and unique twists to long-standing traditions. These trends are in no way exclusive to same-sex couples, but are growing in popularity with this community."
