A Gay Wedding Experience // Brian + Tyler // North Carolina Museum of Art

okay you ready [Laughter] no I'm going to cry a lot I'm [Music] sorry Tyler our day is finally [Music] come from the first moment I knew you were the one that the Universe had placed you right in my path that our souls were made for each other it was always you sweetheart I know deep down that today when we say I do all our struggles the moments that rocked us both in our Journeys we have all been for something we are here today to witness and celebrate Tyler and Brian as they exchange their vows and become committed to one another in marriage for marriage is not about losing oneself but rather it gives us the safest place to become the best versions of ourselves Brian 10 years ago I told the world that I'm gay it was the moment that catapulted me forward I started looking for you everywhere and in everyone I spent so many years wondering why I wasn't handsome enough funny enough tall enough smart enough if only I had trusted Divine timing if only I had rested in the goodness that was to come if only I knew how much you would love me you were there all along in every flower and every sip of coffee and in every laugh I heard along the way every mistake every every Wrong Turn was pulling me to [Music] you Tyler when I was little too little to even understand I had a dream I married a man in the woods I've spent most of my journey thus far walking through those woods searching for him and trying to understand what did it mean who was he how would I find it through the years I asked myself these questions constantly never knowing if I'd find the answers or if I'd ever see him again on my 28th birth I saw a ray of light in the distance the bath opened up and I discovered a beautiful garden that's where I found you you're smart unnecessarily funny kind and passionate your heart is pure and you love relentlessly on top of being the most attractive person I've ever met you make me want to be better stronger and more than I think I can [Music] be on behalf of Tyler and Brian I want to thank all of you for being here today we are all a reflection of the love and care shown to us in our lives all of you are the most important people to this couple you are the ones that have been there for them you've shared their Good Times their bad you've held their hands you've cheered for them you've made fun of them it's true you are the ones that really taught them the true meaning of love so on behalf of them I want to thank each and every one of you without you they would not be the people that they are today and this love would not be possible okay so so what are you most excited for for the wedding tomorrow um I'm most excited to stand at the front and see all of the people that love us cuz there's going to be so many people from different parts of our lives like from childhood College like every part and they're all part of the journey yeah and that was all always the plan wasn't it like we're going to look out and see all the people we love most just like looking back at us I don't know something about like standing there so [Applause] [Music] special I think one of the best things in life is witnessing someone you love find something or someone that makes them truly happy I love y'all's love it inspires me so much to to watch you live so purposely so authentically and without apology may we all take notes and strive for that kind of freedom to our Grooms I want to say how proud I am of you both you have faced more than your fair share of struggles but you have never left those struggles in the light of your love your love for each other is a reminder to us all that love is worth fighting for can't believe it's oh my God you guys are getting married yeah we've [Music] been my mind is silent but knows how today we stand
