Jonathan Bennett married his boyfriend Jaymes Vaughan in a stunning ceremony at the Unico Riviera Maya Hotel in Mexico. The two tied the knot on 19 March after getting engaged in November 2020.
They married in front of 104 family and friends at an inclusive destination, People reported. “When you’re part of the LGBTQ+ fam, not everything in the wedding space is for you yet,” Jaymes told the outlet. “The whole purpose of our wedding is to come together and join the two of us together, join our families together and start a new family.” Jonathan added: “And all that, as we were going through this process, we realised that our wedding is also more than just about us. “It’s about the entire community.” Brian Tyler Cohen, a friend of Jonathan and famous YouTuber, officiated the wedding.
The couple opted for a “gender-neutral” theme of black tuxes from Express and white tuxedos by Robert Stanley Bespoke so that “everyone looks represented and feels sexy in their own way,” Jonathan explained. “So it’s like a new tradition for the community.
You don’t have to do dresses and tuxes. Anyone who wants to wear a tux, wear a tux, go for it.” He revealed that they chose to walk to the ceremony from the beach and meeting at the altar as a song written by Jaymes played.
