Chelle and Ejay went ahead and unified themselves by creating a single family name, as the state of New York will not recognize the union of a transman and woman. And then they went ahead and held their nuptials at a campground.
I am way more shocked by the campground than the wedding itself, but evidently the whole thing went off without a hitch. Having brought in portable toilets and using the bride's father as official barbequer, I kinda wish I was invited to Chelle and Ejay's wedding.
