    “I’m a last-minute person,” Lemon told People, “and most things I just don’t worry about.”

    “But this one I’m secretly worried about, but I’m letting Tim take the reins because he’s a good planner,” he continued.

    “I’ll be writing questions for like the U.N. ambassador and he’ll be saying, ‘Oh, when are they going to put the buttons on our jackets?’ It’s an important question, but I’m just like, ‘Huh? What?’ So he has a million questions, but usually he gets it done without me even answering.”

    The grooms incorporated marriage traditions inspired by each of their families into the ceremony, which was officiated by their “friend,” United States ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield.

    They also wanted a big wedding despite having such a long engagement.

    “We wanted to make a public statement,” Malone told People, “and we wanted to involve our loved ones. We obviously could have easily gone to city hall. We could have used Covid as a perfect excuse to do something really quiet. But I think this is also a message. For I don’t know what percent of our guests, on both sides, but for a lot of them it’s going to be their first gay wedding.”

    The newlyweds entered the church as “What a Wonderful World” play aloud. Later, they exited to “Signed, Sealed, Delivered.”
