Andrew and Josh had a very intimate spring ceremony in late May with close friends and family. They both walked blindfolded into the ceremony under an iron gazebo. Their reception was at The Schvitz, a historic bathhouse in Detroit, Michigan. They also had a special appearance from a drag queen.
“Our first date was coffee at the Roasting Plant in Downtown Detroit in the summer of 2015. We met again just a few days later, got engaged in Paris last spring and have now made our home just a few blocks away from the place where we first met.” —from Andrew and Josh
