The couple of five years have made it official with a wedding in Mexico in front of 104 family members and friends

Our very own host Jaymes Vaughan is now married to Jonathan Bennett, best known as Aaron Samuels in Mean Girls. The couple wed after five years of dating, making their love official at the Unico Hotel Riviera Maya in Mexico on March 19th.


"When you're part of the LGBTQ+ fam, not everything in the wedding space is for you yet," Vaughan told People. "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."
"And all that, as we were going through this process, we realized that our wedding is also more than just about us. It's about the entire community," Bennett added.

YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen, a friend of the pair, officiated their nuptials. Skipping over the tradition of walking down the aisle, "they chose to meet one another at the altar after walking in from the beach to a song that Vaughan wrote for Bennett at the couple's engagement," according to People.

In honor of Bennett's late mother, guests, who could wear a tux or dress if they wanted, were asked to wear various shades of white. The floral arrangements of white roses also honored the actor's mother, as those were her favorite flowers.

The grooms were on theme during the reception as they changed into white tuxes by Robert Stanley Bespoke. The newly married couple was joined on the dance floor by their friends for an evening ceremony emceed by RuPaul's Drag Race star Jackie Cox.

Bennett and Vaughan got engaged two years ago over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. They even partnered with Kay Jewelers to create custom engagement rings to inspire other LGBTQ+ couples.
