Yesterday we received a message from a sweet reader named Derek who shared a very touching story with us:
“Hey Guys! I wanted to share with you this gay love success story. I’m sure you don’t recall but you made a significant impact on mine and Nick’s (now my husband!) relationship 4 years ago. We had broken up and Nick reached out to you 2 looking for some guidance. You said that sometimes all we need is space to put things into perspective and you shared some of the struggles you 2 endured throughout your relationship—it was profoundly helpful for him and myself so thank you again! Well this was us on 11.13.21 in our matching custom-made tuxes and Pride Chucks making it official! Just wanted to share and let you know that you sharing your life and love helped us grow too. We so appreciate it. Love wins always! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤”
I share it for no other reason than to hopefully inspire people that are going through a similarly hard time to know that it won’t always be this way. Sometimes a little space is all you need to realize how much you truly mean to one another. I know it sounds cliche, but it worked wonders for us and it confirmed we 100% didn’t want to live without each other for one more day.
We feel honored to be even a small part of Derek and Nick’s beautiful story, and wish them many more years of love and happiness and all the ups and downs that come with sharing a life with someone.
Congratulations to the grooms!!! xo
