A gay couple in Tennessee who were bounced by a wedding venue because they are both men have been flooded with offers of wedding services at a discount since their story hit the news, TMZ reported. Michael Gill and his fiancé, Coty Heaton, thought they'd found the perfect wedding venue — Barn in the Bend, a Nashville business that advertised they "offer same sex marriage ceremonies only" — were subsequently turned away when that promise turned out to be a typographical error that should have said, "We do not offer same sex marriage ceremonies." It was a nasty shock, but solace soon followed. Gill told TMZ that "several venues reached out looking to help after reading their story, with offers coming in from places elsewhere in Tennessee, plus West Virginia and Louisiana," the pop culture news site reported. After hearing from a number of prospective venues, Gill and Heaton elected to say their I Dos "at The Grove at Williamson Family Farm," the TMZ article said. Along with the offer to accommodate their wedding, The Grove also offered the couple a significant discount, TMZ added. Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork ?️????
