Expedia 'Find Your Understanding' Video Highlights Travel Site's Marriage Equality Support
Expedia is doubling down on its proclaimed support of marriage for same-sex couples with a poignant wedding-themed video. Titled "Find Your Understanding," the clip -- which was produced as part of the online travel company's ongoing "Find Yours" campaign -- tells the story of Artie Goldstein, a retired business owner who admits to feeling apprehensive before attending his daughter Jill's same-sex wedding in California. "My expectations of what Jill's life was going to be included a husband," Goldstein recalls. "So when Nikki came to ask permission to marry our little girl, that startled me. I told her, 'This is not the dream I had for my daughter.' I didn't say yes, I didn't say no." Stunning footage of Jill and Nikki's nuptials accompany Goldstein's emotional narration. "You come to terms with it...it's supposed to be this way," Goldstein observes. In an email statement to HuffPost Gay Voices, the blushing brides said they were "truly humbled" by Expedia's decision to feature their story as part of the campaign. "Our hope is that all families can experience this type of closeness and support, regardless of sexuality," Nikki and Jill Weiss-Goldstein said. "We are extremely proud of our father and his personal journey that has led him to his understanding."
