90 Day Fiancé: Armando Rubio and Kenneth Niedermeier Say “I do”
And you can guarantee it was a fabulous day with the grooms having a looooong time to plan due to battles with the Mexican government just to “earn” the right to marry, and then the Coronavirus pandemic shutting the world down.
Of course, the two rays of sunshine saw the lockdown as less a hindrance and more a chance to spend time together as a family with Armando’s sweet 8 year old daughter, Hannah.
A 100 person limit to capacity did force the nuptials to be a smaller gathering than planned, however, Kenny’s four adult children: Bryson, Taylor, Cassidy, and Madison were able to make it. They were all part of the ceremony with Hannah, lighting a unity candle to symbolize their families becoming officially blended.
“It means everything, I have really supportive children that have always had my back and never let me down,” Kenny gushed. “Having them here to witness their dad getting married after all these years is amazingly special for me.”
The music-filled event which featured dancers and a mariachi band was held at the very location Kenny and Armando would meet up before Kenny made the final move from the U.S to Mexico to live with his fiancé.
Armando was the one to plan the menu, a Mexican American blend which included a four tier wedding cake and offered a dessert table and a burrito stand for guests who stayed late into the night.
The couple wrote their own vows which shared with their guests the roller coaster that was their love story.
“None of my family members have ever been to a gay wedding, so it’s a first for every single one of them,” Armando told People Magazine, who have shared exclusive photos of the wedding . “I’m hoping to open up their minds and what they feel in a positive way.”
He did not say if his father, who took issue to his son being gay, was in attendance.
For now the honeymoon is on hold but the two shared their dream destination- Switzerland! As for adding to their 7 person family? “You’ll have to wait and see what’s happening,” Kenny teased.
Congratulations you two– we are so glad you fought the fight and had your perfect day!
