Groomed For Love: Matthew And Shannon Secretly Eloped In Vegas—Then Celebrated With Everyone They Love In Atlanta

A local couple, Matthew and Shannon, recently eloped in Vegas. Matthew had previously thought marriage might not be part of his life due to a lack of examples of Black gay men in committed relationships in his life and on television. Their relationship began when Matthew sent Shannon a message on Instagram after seeing one of his videos. The two started talking and eventually went on dates, with romance developing over time. Further details about the couple's story and their celebration in Atlanta are available from local sources, including Essence.
