Love takes many forms, but some relationships have endured especially difficult and challenging circumstances.
Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka
Heading to host the Bloody Mary Brunch for the @sobewffest.
Looking forward to the mixers and the mingles.
FromHow I Met Your MothertoDoctor Horrible’s Sing Along Blog, he’s stolen hearts all across the nation.
But the hearts that he cares about the most arehusband David Burtka’s, and their kids.
But while fans have fallen for NPH, it turns out that he fell for Burtka first.
But when they first met, Burtka was already in a relationship.
NPH couldn’t take his eyes off him, but didn’t want to be a homewrecker.
So he waited for fates to align.
But despite being the first to say those three magic words, it was Burtka who proposed.
“That had never happened to me in my life,“she toldThe Advocateback in 2005.
My knees were weak.”
But it wasn’t because this was just another royal power couple.
It was because these twochallenged the history and practices of their country and won.
Jim Parsons & Todd Spiewak
B-day party for Todd!
But it’s not only fans who find this couple adorably inspiring.
During Parsons’acceptance speech, he said, “I’ve never considered myself an activist.
I’ve never considered my relationship with Todd to be an act of activism.
Of course, fans will never forget his role onStar Trek.
But perhaps even more importantly, he’s remembered as part of a duo.
“He was the best runner out there,” Takei said.
“And also great-looking.”
WhileOITNBmay bank on heart-wrenching drama, Wiley and Morelli are the very picture of wedded bliss.
However, this was a marriage that OITNB writer Morelli never anticipated.
Before joining the show,she was married to a man named Steve Basilone.
She learned to be comfortable in her sexuality and now shares an incredible love story with Wiley.
“We both understand the difference between the person and the persona,” she said.
“When we are home, we are both just Iman and David.
We’re not anybody else.”
But as people are keen to notice, theirs was an interracial marriage.
But Bowie had advocated for equality before the two ever met.
When Iman spoke of her husband years later, she mentioned how her father taught her toonly love gentlemen.
“My father…gave me a positive connection with men, because he is a gentleman.
And that is what attracted me to David.
He is a gentle soul,” she said.
Aziz Ansari’s parents
Just wanted to thank these guys for giving me everything and more!
In some cases, you might be right.
In others, like that of Ansari’s parents, you’d be dead wrong.
Then he met my mom.
He quickly deduced that she was the appropriate height (finally!
), and they talked for about 30 minutes.
They decided it would work.
A week later, they were married.”
And their happy union continues!
Like there’s someone out there holding the flag for us.
But there are millions more beautiful couples that aren’t famous that love deeply, and with pride.
And they do it every day.
