“Meet Mr & Mr Bennett Vaughan.”

Meanwhile, Jaymes told People, who announced the marriage news: "When you're part of the LGBTQ+ fam, not everything in the wedding space is for you yet.

"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."

Of the emotional event, Jaymes told the outlet: "I got to marry my best friend!

"I knew we'd be emotional but I don't think either of us realized just how overwhelming that moment would be until we were in it.

"Seeing him crying only made me cry harder, and then our guests cry harder, and then we'd all start laughing, and then all back into crying."

SO ROMANTIC

Jonathan and Jaymes had gotten engaged in November 2020 after three years of dating.

The Hallmark star revealed that actor Jaymes proposed while playing an original song he wrote for Jonathan.

Jonathan said his sister shouted for him to look outside, and that Jaymes was standing in his yard with a sign that read: "We never did find our song, so I wrote it for you." 

The tune - which was entirely "personal to Jonathan" - then started playing out of a hidden speaker.

'UGLY CRYING'

"It’s hard for me to really remember the rest because I think my body just decided to black out and ugly cry," Jonathan told the outlet.

He added:"All I was doing was ugly crying. But I just remember feeling like I was home. I knew from the minute I saw him with the sign I was getting proposed to.

"When I saw Jaymes take a knee I was so excited I just started hysterically screaming because I didn’t know how to express myself properly.

"There was a moment when you feel like, 'Oh, this is forever, I understand it.' I screamed 'Yes' immediately. Actually it was, 'Yes! Of course!'"

The couple started dating in 2017 and went Instagram official in November of that year.
