Love, laughter, and a shared passion for pop culture were at the heart of the wedding celebration of Billy Jacobson and Evan Ross Katz. The couple, who met on the dating app Grindr, tied the knot in a whimsical and stylish ceremony at Current, an indoor events space at Pier 59 in Manhattan.
Their love story began with a chance encounter on Grindr, where they discovered they lived near each other in Lower Manhattan. What followed was a whirlwind romance filled with shared interests in reality TV, fashion, and iconic pop culture moments.
Their wedding, aptly titled “Big Goose Wedding: Live!”, was a reflection of their unique bond. From a rabbi who humorously referred to Grindr as “a certain app” to a surprise performance by singer Mandy Moore, the event was filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable moments.
The couple’s shared love for “Survivor” led them to binge-watch 40 seasons of the show during lockdown, highlighting their ability to find joy and connection in even the most challenging times.
Fashion played a significant role in their wedding, with the grooms wearing tailor-made suits by Loewe and guests donning designer clothing. The ceremony was a celebration of their differences and the balance they brought to each other’s lives.
As they danced to Mandy Moore’s performance of “I Wanna be With You,” surrounded by their loved ones, it was clear that Billy and Evan’s love story was one for the ages. With laughter, friendship, and a deep connection at its core, their wedding was a true reflection of their unique and enduring bond.
