The Wedding Website of Sean Paul Carleton and Eli Jacob Madden

We met in New York City during the first week the city reopened after COVID shut it down. We met online, actually - as modern couples do. Eli had one line filled out one his profile - apparently too busy to complete it. The one line that he had filled out was Last Television Show Watched; Please Like Me. It's an Australian dramedy about a young Australian kid learning about his queerness. Sean's therapist had just recommended that he watch it several years before but during COVID he watched it. And he fell in love with it. It's not a huge show and he was surprised and excited that someone else knew it and knew what it meant for him, so he knew that we'd have - at least - one thing to talk about and explore our experience of the show to ignite the ember of our relationship. Then....we met up in Williamsburg, a single date that was supposed to end after one brunch but lasted 12 hours and here we are moving into the next chapter. Wander through our gallery to see our love story unfold.
