Rather then embracing tradition, the [lesbian duo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-fabulous) made it all their own and thus Gem and Mel's wedding was born. Opting for a super cool [vintage style black dress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1), [vans for shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melissa-x-maldito), with her Mrs. wearing a porkpie hat and mod style clothing, this duo was looking good.
