 Here’s what Eric shared on his page on July 11, below: “In 11 days, July 30, I will be marrying David and become Mr. Eric Shoen-Ukre in Rochester, NY. I am struggling to focus on work as I think about seeing all of my friends and family joining us at the small wedding or that evening at Tilt nightclub. I’m feeling loved when I need it with all the crazy emotions from the current state of our country and world.”

 On the morning of their wedding, the an excited Eric also shared this:

“How to start your wedding day:
1. Forget to grab a towel before showering and leave slippery wet footprints all over the house (made me giggle and good thing I’m the only one here)
2. Try on your tux and realize that you have your fiancés pants that will definitely not fit you.
3. Drive to hotel to switch pants and forget breakfast is in the oven. Return to house with crispy but edible breakfast. Embracing it all with love and laughter.

Today will be amazing. I get to marry the most amazing man”

The couple have both added each other’s surnames to their names, with David bearing ‘David Shoen-Ukre’ and Eric bearing ‘Eric T. Shoen-Ukre’.

Over here we do not believe nor celebrate such, but what can I say, Congrats to Mr & Mr Shoen - Ukre.
