Michelle Visage Will Officiate One Lucky LGBT Couple's Dream Wedding
In celebration of Pride month, Michelle Visage has teamed up with Tinder to give one lucky LGBT couple $100,000 toward their dream wedding.
LGBT couples who have found love on the popular dating app can enter the contest through June by posting a #couplespic to Instagram, tagging Tinder and using the hashtag #TinderSuccessStory, along with a description of their successful meet-cute.
When Visage first heard about the #TinderSuccessStory initiative, the Rupaul’s Drag Race judge signed on to judge the winning photo—and officiate the winning couple’s wedding ceremony. Instead of charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent, she'll be judging the posts on originality, presentation, emotional impact, and relevance to Pride theme.
“At Tinder, we believe in marriage equality,” says Tinder exec Rosette Pambakian in a statement. “With new product features like our More Gender options, we have taken steps to make the app inclusive for all users because every person deserves the chance to meet someone special while feeling comfortable being themselves."
"We believe everyone has the right to marry their perfect match, so today, we’re looking for one extraordinary couple to win a Tinder dream wedding. Sometimes LGBTQ couples don’t have the family support for a dream wedding, so that is why we are here to swipe right on their dream.”
The winning #TinderSuccessStory couple will be announced July 5.
RuPaul’s Drag Race airs Fridays at 8/7c on VH1.
