IN LVOE
These non-gender-specific rings are perfect for couples straying from the traditional bridal jewelry selection. New York City-based jeweler Rony Tennenbaum created the line, when he was disappointed with the options for fashionable LGBT jewelry in the wedding industry. In particular, his LVOE collection symbolizes that love is love no matter how you spell it. Found locally at Adolf Jewelers at 1537 N. Parham Road, the rings cost $850 and up based on customization. Tennenbaum says there are no rules when it comes to wedding jewelry for same-sex couples. 285-3671 or adolfjewelers.com

A Marriage of Wax
At about 4-inches tall, these candles are a bit small to serve as cake toppers, but they make for great wedding decorations or gifts. Made in Peru, there’s a version with two grooms and another with two brides. Head to Mongrel in Carytown to grab one before they’re gone and check out the same-sex wedding cards while you’re there. $12 each. 342-1272 or mongrelrva.com
