# Adirondack Transman Weddings Chelle and Ejay Get Married Even Though The Law Won't Let Them By Robyn Currie | Published 2010-05-23 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chelle-and-ejay References: [offbeatbride](http://offbeatbride.com/2010/05/new-york-adirondack-naming) & [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/42792439@N02/with/3944064733/) Chelle and Ejay went ahead and unified themselves by creating a single family name, as the state of New York will not recognize the union of a transman and woman. And then they went ahead and held [their nuptials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-launderette-of-love) at a campground. I am way more shocked by the campground than the wedding itself, but evidently the whole thing went off without a hitch. Having brought in [portable toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-popup) and using the bride's father as official barbequer, I kinda wish I was invited to Chelle and Ejay's wedding. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Weddings](https://www.trendhunter.com/weddings) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Non-traditional Weddings:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating wedding experiences that cater to unique couples like transmen and women. - **Name Unification:** Opportunity to develop services that assist couples in legally unifying their names and identities despite legal restrictions. - **Alternative Wedding Venues:** Opportunity for innovative approaches in creating wedding experiences in non-traditional venues like campgrounds. ### Who This Affects Most - **Wedding Services:** Wedding planners, venues, and services can tap into the market of non-traditional weddings by offering tailored experiences specifically designed for unique couples. - **Legal Services:** Law firms and legal professionals can provide guidance and assistance to couples who seek to legally unify their names and identities regardless of legal constraints. - **Hospitality and Event Management:** Companies in the hospitality and event management industry can explore opportunities in creating unique and memorable wedding experiences in alternative venues such as campgrounds. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Metaverse Wedding Ceremonies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metaverse-wedding.md) - [Mobile Weenie Wedding Chapels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-wedding-chapel.md) - [Dip-Themed Wedding Ceremonies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-themed-wedding.md) - [Wedding Crasher Weddings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-crasher-wedding.md) - [QSR Drive-Thru Weddings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdrive-thru-wedding.md) - [Wedding Fashion Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shein-love-chapel.md) - [Inclusive NFT Marriages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/closeup-city-hall.md) - [Unique Wedding Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-on-the-ledge.md) - [Free Gym Weddings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gym-weddings.md)
