An
elderly military couple married at their veterans home the day before
yesterday, Sept. 13 in the center’s first gay ceremony. 95-year-old World War
II veteran, John Banvard, married his partner, 67-year-old Gerard Nadeau, who
served in Vietnam. The two have been together for 20 years, but had to wait
until the recent Supreme Court decision to legally tie the knot. The wedding
held on Saturday at their home with few friends in attendance. They sealed it
with a kiss after exchanging vows. Those who kicked against their marriage
simply did not attend.
‘It
was something we wanted to do for a long time’, Mr Banvard said. Their
ceremony, however, wasn’t completely welcomed by the rest of the home’s
residents as some of them protested, but the Facility director insisted they
had a right to get married just like others do.
Well ive got only one question for both of
them: who is the daddy and who is the mummy?
