Fans on social media are celebrating the nuptials of Nico Santos and Zeke Smith, who tied the knot on November 4.

The Superstore actor and his Survivor husband unintentionally planned their Palm Springs wedding the same weekend as the city's Pride celebration. Instead of rescheduling, though, the couple decided to make the affair extra celebratory.

Smith, who was outed as transgender in a 2017 episode of Survivor, told People that the ceremony, which was officiated by Santos’ Superstore co-star Mark McKinney, was a way for the couple to celebrate becoming a family.

“For us, we’ve been together for almost six years. We own a home together, have a joint bank account. We’re each other’s emergency contacts. By all sorts of usual metrics we are married.”
“But actually having the ceremony, making it legal, it’s about becoming a family."
"We’re in it forever. Through thick and thin and easy and hard. We’re going to be the person that’s there for the other one.”

As for their wedding landing on the same weekend as Palm Springs' 2023 Pride weekend, the couple couldn't have been happier.

“It’s a big gay wedding."
“A lot of our guests are queer as well, so we thought let’s just stick to the date and have it during Pride weekend. So it’ll be extra gay.”

Santos' Superstore costar America Ferrera commented:

"Such a beautiful pic!!!"
"Devastated to miss it. Hope it was the best day ever!! ❤️❤️"

Last year at the GLAAD Media Awards in LA, Smith surprised Santos with an on-stage proposal, which was completely fitting given the two were introduced at the event in 2018.

Santos shared with People:

“It’s just really great to finally have met your person who is going to hold your hand and will have your back no matter what."

Congrats to the happy couple!

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”

With the United States set to host the 2026 World Cup, a video out of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is drawing attention for a very different reason: showing a man ripping apart an Iraqi soccer fan’s banner and telling them, “Don’t come to America.”

The video, posted on Instagram, shows a group of Iraqi sports fans standing in an airport holding a banner with Arabic and Spanish writing. The fans were there to support Iraq during their World Cup qualifier against Bolivia, which resulted in a 2-1 upset victory earlier that day.

Videos Of Squirrels Trying To 'Vape' Are Going Viral—And We Don't Know Whether To Laugh Or Cry

Some viral videos come along that leave us unsure whether we should laugh or cry. In the case of squirrels trying to vape, crying is unfortunately the more likely outcome.

E-cigarettes have dramatically increased in popularity in recent years and are often even portrayed as a cool accessory on social media. Unfortunately, disposable, one-time-use e-cigarettes have been made affordable and easily accessible, and instead of properly disposing of them, people often leave them on the ground like cigarette butts.
