The video has a caption that reads in Spanish, “After deciding to keep our relationship private, we opened the doors on a special day.”

Furthermore, Argentina legalized same-sex marriage in 2010. Puerto Rico followed suit in 2015.  It followed after the US legalized the Supreme Court ruling.

Organizers of the 2020 Miss Grand International pageant sent their good wishes to the newly-wed. “Congratulations to both of you. MGIO always supports “LOVE” without boundaries.”
