Jonathan Bennett and Jaymes Vaughn’s Mexican Riviera Wedding

Wedding

Nov 17

Celebrity actors and TV hosts Jonathan Bennett and Jaymes Vaughan tied the knot in a gorgeous week-long destination celebration in the Mexican Riviera Maya at the beautiful UNICO 20°87° resort. Immersed right at the interface of jungle and beach, UNICO's unparalleled amenities made it the perfect location to celebrate Jonathan and Jaymes on their big day! Not only are these grooms talented performers, but also advocates for the LGBTQ+ community. After a heartbreaking experience with a wedding venue that refused them because they are gay, the couple shifted focus and decided that they would use their wedding to highlight and uplift queer talent in the wedding community. They planned their nuptials with an inclusive, tradition-busting mindset and crafted innovative and modern updates to wedding tradition that many other LGBTQ+ couples will want to use for their own big day including a gender neutral wedding party (all in black tuxedos), a unique ceremony entrance that gave equal weight to each groom, a custom “ring-flipping” ceremony, a drag performance and choreographed dance number, and a surprise fireworks display!
