Story
AARON GLICK came to New York from Indiana. He is a theatre producer, which means he's creative and bossy. He loves cereal, reality cooking competitions, and murder mysteries. His favorite movie is Bob Fosse's All That Jazz.
Friend Aaron!
NICK COBURN came to New York from New Hampshire. He is an interactive designer by day, but a rapper and writer by night. He loves cheese plates and rhyme schemes. He has seen all of AFI's 100 Greatest American Films.
Friend Nick!
In October of 2011, Aaron was doing what he does best (producing a musical) at the McGinn-Cazale Theatre on 76th and Broadway. Nick, the literary associate at a musical theatre festival, was doing what he does best (standing in a stairwell looking slightly lost). Aaron marched up and introduced himself.
Over the next two months, their paths crossed repeatedly. In the bathroom line waiting to see a musical starring Andrea McArdle. The check-in table at a theatre gala. A weird after-party where they accidentally stumbled into Jennifer Damiano celebrating her final performance in Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark. They ignored the signs.
On New Year's Eve, Aaron and his friends wandered into a West Village bar called Pieces. Pieces is the last place anyone should spend New Year's Eve. But Nick was there with his friends, too. This time, Aaron made sure to ask for Nick's number. They went on their first date a few days later: dinner at a vegetarian restaurant (Aaron insisted), followed, appropriately, by a screening of The Artist at the Angelika Film Center.
It's been nearly six years since that night. They've been on adventures across the country and even overseas. They've fought about things like whether or not Once should've won Best Musical over Newsies. They've also agreed on things, like beet pasta and Cate Blanchett. They've adopted a crazy, patch-eyed pit bull named Romeo. He's the worst. But he's also the best.
You can read all about their unexpected Election Night engagement in an Elle article here. Aaron talks for most of it, and that's pretty indicative of their relationship. Nick got his revenge by making this website. In summary: they are tired of haters and ready to share their love with the world.
The Deal: We will be getting married at City Hall early on Friday, August 18. It will be casual, simple, and small. While we would love to have everyone there, the space will not be able to accommodate more than our immediate families. That evening, from 9pm to midnight, we are excited to see everyone at The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn to celebrate. Picture the best cocktail party you've never been to, then picture it being a half-Jewish gay wedding.
