First gay wedding featured by Martha Stewart magazine
”We’re humbled and honored to have been deemed ‘good thing’-y enough to grace this mass market mag’s pages. It’s one time you won’t hear us complain about our love being turned into an issue.”
Jeremy Hooper from his blog GoodAsYou who has been featured in Martha Stewart‘s Weddings magazine under a featured called “Real Weddings.” According to his website, he married his husband, Andrew Shulman , on June 13, in Litchfield Hills, Connecticut. This is apparently the first time the goddess of “good things” has featured a same-sex wedding. Gay and lesbian marriage was legalized in Connecticut late in 2008 by a 4-3 decision from that state’s Supreme Court. Photos of the magazine spread and video of the emotional Hooper-Shulman wedding ceremony are available on his website. (GoodAsYou)
