Gay military couple's first-kiss photo shared widely on Facebook
Gay military couple's first-kiss photo shared widely on Facebook
By Jackie Rewald, Springfield (Mo.) News-Leader 4:38 p.m. EST February 15, 2016
Spc. Shane Adriano and Pfc. Tristian Resz chose the Greene County Courthouse as a venue because they wanted something small and intimate for their Feb. 11 wedding. It was to be just the happy couple, a few supportive friends and a judge.
But after they shared their "first married kiss" photo on Facebook, their small ceremony turned into a worldwide event.
The American Military Partner Association posted the photo a few hours after the wedding. As of Monday morning, that post has been shared 800 times, has almost 4,400 likes and more than 215 comments.
PROMO, a statewide LGBT advocacy group, shared the photo the following day and got more than 1,400 likes and many comments.
