Pride & Groom

A year after same-sex marriage became law in New York, this documentary-style special from Here TV marks the milestone in the most fitting way possible: by following a wedding. Mitchell Cook and Paul Neenos, an engaged couple from Upstate New York, invite viewers along as they get ready for their big day, from the planning and the nerves to the family and friends who gather around them. Directed by Keren Aronoff, the 49-minute program pairs the familiar pleasures of a wedding story with an awareness of how recently a day like this became possible for couples in their state. Personal and warm, Pride & Groom keeps its focus on one relationship, showing what marriage equality looks like when it moves from the news into the everyday lives of two people building a future together.
