Sweet story.
Together 20 years, WWII vet John Banvard, 95, and 67-year-old Vietnam vet Gerard Nadeau, said they wanted to have their ceremony among friends, so they chose to have it at the Veteran’s Home, where they’ve lived for the last three years.
“We were waiting on the Supreme Court to make that decision,” said Banvard.
Many of the couple’s friends who live at the veteran’s home attended the small and simple ceremony.
“The world is changing, we have to go along with it,” said one guest.
Facility director Neal Asper said news of two men getting married at the VA home wasn’t well received by everyone. A town hall meeting was held at the VA home to address concerns from other residents.
“It’s been somewhat controversial,” said Asper. “I told them, they have the right to get married here just like everybody else.”
Video had auto-play, which I hate. You can view the video at this link.
