This Gay Wedding Video Shows Us What True Love Is All About

In May, New Yorker Carl Marucci proposed to his boyfriend, Drew Marsenison, with a beautiful flash mob proposal in Central Park that got nearly half a million views on YouTube and left most (if not all) of those viewers teary-eyed.

The couple -- who tied the knot in September -- had us reaching for the tissue box yet again when they uploaded their wedding video (watch above) to YouTube on Monday.

Congratulations to the adorable couple. We couldn't be happier for you -- even though you keep ruining our eye makeup.

"Brie and Justine were legally married in Boston, Mass. in January 2011. We had a commitment ceremony in Memphis, Tenn. in June 2011. Our family and friends were there to celebrate our relationship and recognize us as a couple in our community. However, we are thrilled to know that the federal government sees us as equals and will give us the same rights as our peers. This is a great day in our history, and I hope to see more strides made in the future, especially for our home state of Tennessee." - Brie Wallace

"On July 3, 2010 my older sister, Bridgette Davis, and her wife, Ellen Sale, had their marriage ceremony in front of approximately 250 of their friends and family who traveled from all over the country to show support for them & their love. On September 14, 2012, they were 'officially married' in NYC surrounded by an intimate group of friends (Illinois recognizes same sex marriages from other states that have passed the law). I love these two with all of my heart and am surely their biggest fan!" - Maggie Davis
