Adrian Homer and Harrison Guy were married April 15 — exactly 10 years after their first date, the Houston Chronicle reports. Homer and Guy met through the Delta Phi Upsilon fraternity at Houston’s Prairie View A&M University, an organization meant to connect gay men of color. The photos, taken by Ken Maurice Studios, show an absolutely joyful day.

Guy, now 40, was originally assigned to be Homer’s pledge mentor when Homer entered the fraternity as a 22-year-old freshman. Though their mentor-mentee relationship meant they weren’t “weren’t able to talk romantically,” Guy told the Houston Chronicle, Homer made a move and told Guy he was interested. The relationship then developed quickly.

“It was history from there,” Homer explained. “We hung out throughout the week and every weekend. The relationship just kind of happened.” In response to those who believe their fraternity brother bond was problematic because of their romance, Guy told NBC News:

I think people would love to be able to say we have this organization of black gay men, and we are never are romantically involved with each other, because we are brothers. I don’t share that idea. I’m on the other end of the spectrum, where I believe if this is a cohort of the best men available, then why not?

Both Homer and Guy are still close with other Delta Phi Upsilon members — six of their 15 groomsmen were their brothers. They had fours groomsmaids take part in their ceremony as well.

The couple believes their wedding has attracted so much attention online because there’s a lack of black, gay love in the media and they’re happy for the attention — they want to inspire others to tell their stories as well.
