UNBELIEVABLE!!!! 95yrs old Man, marries his 67- year-old gay partner!!!!

An elderly military couple married at their veterans home yesterday in
the center's first gay ceremony.
95-year-old World War II veteran John Banvard, married his partner,
67-year-old Gerard Nadeau, who served in Vietnam.
The two have been together for 20 years, but had to wait until the
recent Supreme Court decision to legally tie the knot.

got married yesterday at their veterans home in Chula Vista,
California
Married: The couple said they had to wait for the Supreme Court
decision to legally marry
They moved to the veterans home in Chula Vista, California three
years ago and decided to hold the ceremony there, among their
friends.
The ceremony was small and simple. After exchanging vows, the two
men were sealed with a kiss.
'It was something we wanted to do for a long time,' Mr Banvard told
10 News .
Their ceremony, however, wasn't completely welcomed by the rest of
the home's residents.
Facility director Neal Asper told Fox 5 San Diego that news of the gay
ceremony was 'somewhat controversial'.
Controversial: The couple got married at their veterans home in Chula
Vista, California and some of their fellow residents were less than
pleased with the union

Peaceful day: Despite some residents expressing their disapproval
with the union, there were no protests on the day of the wedding
As for the residents who have complained to him about it: 'I told
them, they have the right to get married here just like everybody else.'
But some residents still didn't like the idea. Someone even contacted
the Westboro Baptist Church, a notoriously anti-gay group in Florida,
in hopes that they would get the ceremony moved off the property.
On the day of the wedding though, there were no protestors and those
who objected to the ceremony simply didn't attend.
'Oh that's they problem not mine,' Nadeau said about those opposed
to the wedding. 'But you know what this will do? Open the door for
other people.'
One resident said that while he disagreed with two men getting
married he respected their legal right to do so.
'I just know that it's against my faith and my religion, but as
Americans they have a right to do what they want to do.'
