A symbolic wedding could be the beginning of a change
Brazilian law does not allow polygamous unions, while gay marriage has been legal for more than 10 years. The symbolic ceremony, which took place on a rooftop in SĆ£o Paulo's historic downtown, captured the beauty and commitment of the three men's relationship. The symbolic ceremony also marks the beginning of a discussion about the legalisation of polygamous unions in Brazil.
"I now declare you husband and husband and husband!" sounded the words of Lidia Vas, who officiated the ceremony, marking a unique moment in the history of love in Brazil.
The nuptial ceremony was not limited to the exchange of rings, but also included a symbolic wedding ritual that represented the union of their souls. Each man wears a tattoo to symbolise their union, and wedding details such as the ombre green of their suits suggest references to the colours of the gay flag.
