Gay Wedding With 'Upstage The Grooms' Theme Goes Viral—And The Looks Are Fabulous

Drag Queen Mary Lou Pearl, AKA Blake Mitchell, shared some video from the fashion-forward wedding on Instagram—and fans were absolutely here for it.

Wedding dress codes can often prove confusing. How does one dress for a "black tie beach brunch," anyway?

Guests at a recent gay wedding in Rhode Island knew exactly what to do when they were challenged to "try to upstage the grooms."


One of the attendees, Blake Mitchell, made a video compilation that highlighted how they and other wedding guests rose to the challenge with flair.


Mitchell, who is also known as the drag queen Mary Lou Pearl, turned up in a purple jumpsuit and cape, and other guests were equally creative.

Of the varied interpretations of the dress code, Mitchell said:

“Guests were invited to wear looks that broke all the traditional wedding guidance. There were sequins, patterns, fringe and leather. One guest even dug out her own wedding dress and reimagined it for this event.”

Folks praised the novel theme.

Lauren Boebert Casts Doubt On Moon Landing During Wild Interview With Conspiracy Theorist

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert was criticized after she seemingly agreed with the conspiracy theory that the moon landing was faked in a wide-ranging interview with conservative conspiracy theorist Alex Stein.

The segment began with the duo casting doubt on nuclear weapons—Boebert even joked about needing "tin foil"—and moved into weirder territory when Stein praised Boebert for "vibing" with him on the topic of the moon landing. Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax.
