2 Comic-Book Store Owners Got Married After Posting This Sweet Sign

Jun 27 2015 - 6:30am

We've seen many heartwarming stories [1] come out of today's Supreme Court ruling that legalized gay marriage across the country [2], but this one is especially sweet. A man named Kenneth Denson posted a note outside his comic book store Red Pegasus in Dallas this morning that explains why it opened later than usual.

BRB, just getting married.

The photo of the sign has gone viral on Reddit [3], as it should — according to a local news site [4], Denson and his partner, Gabriel Mendez, (who have been together for 15 years) ended up getting married on Friday afternoon. The two wore matching t-shirts with their business's name on it, grabbed lunch, and headed back to work.

It's OFFICIAL!!! Thank you all for the sweet and kind words. We certainly feel the love. #LoveWins [5] pic.twitter.com/aI5tSelfSx [6]

They got back to the store to see that supportive customers had left them cakes, cupcakes, pie [11], and cards. Wonderful!
