Men's Vows is a blogging platform that is dedicated to "supporting men who marry." The male groom-supporting platform includes several sections including 'Real Love Stories,' 'Travel,' 'Wedding Inspiration,' and 'The Directories' and visitors can explore the platform's curated directory of vendors for their wedding day. The site also offers featured vendors for accommodations, bakeries, photographers, florists, and more, and many of these small businesses are run by LGBTQ+-identifying folk and allies.
Men's Vows also recently launched a podcast, called 'Do You Take This Man?' on "living the married life" and dives into relationship issues from the "moments grooms become husbands." The podcast is conceived of and hosted by Sam Ervin with his husband Richard as his co-host.
