Bennett, best known for his role as Aaron Samuels in Mean Girls, and Vaughan, a television host and producer, spoke about their upcoming nuptials in the Summer 2021 issue of The Knot Magazine.
For the couple, Bennett said it’s important that their wedding takes place in a venue that aligns with their values. Unfortunately, the owner of their dream destination, the Palace Resorts in Mexico, has an archaic stance on homosexuality. “When we got engaged, the owner said he couldn’t marry us because we’re two men and it goes against his morals,” explained Bennett. “That was a sucker punch to the gut.
We decided in that moment that our wedding was bigger than us. It’s our wedding, but it isn’t just about us. It’s about the LGBTQ+ community.
