Pride
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!
