Same-Sex Wedding FAQs

Question

Who proposed to whom?

Answer

Robel proposed in August 2019. Nick said a tearful "of course"! They both chose to wear engagement rings, and will swap them out for wedding bands on the big day.

Question

How does the ceremony work?

Answer

The ceremony will run similarly to most traditional wedding ceremonies. Nick and Robel have chosen to escort their moms down the aisle, will exchange their written vows, and will definitely cry some happy tears. As of now, no drag queens are scheduled to appear.

Question

Who is taking who’s last name?

Answer

Neither! Nick and Robel are sticking with their last names.

Question

Will there be a bouquet or garter toss?

Answer

Nope! (Robel: "Absolutely Not")

Question

Is same-sex marriage legal?

Answer
