The couple, who are being referred to as Chema and Jonathan by Spanish media, were married in Jerez de la Frontera on September 5 while dressed in their full police uniforms, in what many believe is a world first.
To mark the occasion, people all across the world have been uploading and sharing photos of the adorable couple to social media.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
In an interview with a Spanish radio station, Chema said that he and his hubby have lots of gay friends and allies in the police force.

“If it helps someone who is being bullied in school for their sexual orientation to see it as something normal, then that’s great,” he said. “It’s not something that should be hidden just because you belong to a particular institution.”
The guys were married at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art and plan on road tripping from Seattle to San Diego for their honeymoon.
Scroll down to see photos from the wedding, and congrats to the happy couple!

Sorry for busting the big Queerty headline THE WORLD’S FIRST GAY POLICE WEDDING IN SPAIN, but two gay RCMP police officers were married in Canada nine years ago back in 2006. Here’s the link to NBC’s report:

But then…who the hell cares about Canada eh?

Hot.
@ingyaom:
Quelle coincidence! I’m heading up there this afternoon for two days of meetings. No rain, right?

Hopefully some day this will not be a big deal, congratulations guys!

@Shanestud: Expecting accurate stories from Queerty is like asking about blue unicorns…

@Sweetie Pie: Queerty is a business. It makes money by selling advertising. Advertising revenue is determined by how may people subscribe to and read Queerty. Counting reader comments is a way to determine readership. Therefore, Queerty isn’t concerned with accuracy of reporting; it cares about people visiting the site and reading. If misleading, inaccurate and inflammatory articles attract readers and provoke comments, it’s good for the bottom line.

@Shanestud: Thats a link to an article saying two Mounties were intending to marry, not that they actually got married. I did a search and could find no follow-up confirming that they ever did. (I wanted to see the pictures.)

Back atcha. Safe travels.

One last post on this article – following up on Jaco above, Sias Strydom and Brent Browning were the first policemen married to each other back in 2002 in South Africa.
Here’s The Guardian story about it:

They are adorable together. I love men in uniforms. It is extremely hot material.
David Mor
Why is this even a thing? Lol. I can’t wait for the first gay plumber wedding. Dumb
Tom Johnston
Happy for you. My husband and I married July 2 after waiting 35 years.
Josh447
Wow. Now that defines hot. Their pic kissing should be next to every definition of “hot” in the dictionary.
Margaret Douglas-Newberry
Congratsð???ð???ð??¥

@Tom Johnston: THAT is beautiful. I’d like to see Queerty do a story showcasing older gay couples. Show some of us that there is hope for us in our twilight years… if we don’t become empty and vain.

Arresting!

The pics are great, and I like how all of the officers making the arch of swords are smiling. Lots of cuties in there as well.

@ingyaom: Follow -up news report:
Jason Tree and David Conners, the two gay Mounties whose marriage plans made international news, have wed! (Congrats, guys!) When pestered by all sorts of media, Tree said he was confused by all the attention their little wedding has been getting.
“We don’t see our wedding as anything different or special. Our goal was to get married, not have an international media story.”
Darn it..if they lived in the USA they would have made the cover of The Advocate, appeared on “Ellen” and TMZ and the cover of People and Out magazine. How dare they keep their wedding private and personal and away from the media.

Let us know when you’re going to get to San Francisco
We’ll see what kind of a welcome we can whip up!!
