THE PERFECT ORNAMENT
Joshua Gallagher and Matthew Ward met
through Facebook, taking about a year to
become friends and getting to know each
other before their first official date.
The two exchanged Christmas ornaments

ALL ABOUT LOVE
The couple agrees their wedding brought
their families closer together, as they could
see Joshua's and Matt's love and acceptance.
"We are so fortunate to have family and
friends that support us so much," Joshua adds.
