Jonathan and Francisco’s Navy and Gray Chicago Winter Gay Wedding

Chicago grooms Jonathan Campbell and Francisco Gonzalez married on a late January night at the Wyndham Grand Chicago Riverfront. The 65-guest wedding included groomsmen, a groomswoman, personalized readings, and an hour glass that the two grooms each filled with a different color of sand to represent how just “as time passes, the sand becomes more mixed and inseparable,” so too does a couple. The husbands, who got engaged in NYC’s Central Park, tell Equally Wed they adore each other’s smile more than anything else, and that they honeymooned at Disney World.
