Chris MacLellan and Bernard Richard Schiffer never exchanged “for better or for worse” vows. As a gay couple, marriage wasn’t an option in Florida. Instead, they lived together and loved each other for 11 years. (Archive video from 2014, Reporting and writing by Diane C. Lade. Photography and videography by Carline Jean.

Differences in age, personality and upbringing did not matter.
