According US News, Larry Duncan, 56, a retired psychiatric nurse, and Randell Shepherd, 48, a computer programmer, of North Bend, Wash., have been together 11 years. They wore the matching outfits as a "fashion statement."
"We were at a party and we met eyes and fell in love," Duncan said to the news source.
"He came up and asked me out, and I said yes," Shepherd added.
The bearded couple is considering getting married Sunday at a local church that will perform mass ceremonies for same-sex couples.
Although they're not religious, Duncan told NBC, “Enough people have told me, ‘God hates fags'. I want someone in a church to say, ‘God loves fags,’ to have that stamp on it.”
