In case you were worried you might have to spend this gorgeous autumn day watching kitten videos and jonesing for animal-shaped macaroni-and-cheese in order to get your Cute Fix, NEVER FEAR. Within the last 25 minutes we have received record numbers of e-mails and messages from Autostraddle Readers that something magical and Certifiably Cute is afoot in the world of Kickass Celebrities You Are Preoccupied With, and that thing is that Orange is the New Black writer Lauren Morelli and actress Samira Wiley are getting married.
It seems like just yesterday that Samira and Lauren were first captured Officially Lesbianing together, doesn’t it? See how time flies and soars through the sky like a bird in love with another bird? See how we are all just humans with hearts beating still as the world goes round and round, bringing people who openly wear Autostraddle Merch and hang out with Brittani Nichols together in the great embrace of matrimony? My friends, I am not here to tell you that love is not a lie, because it is, but I AM here to tell you that sometimes, for some people, love is in fact not a lie, but simply a glorious thing.
CONGRATULATIONS
This is all caps SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
love is love is love is love is love is love
the absolute cutest!
D’awwwwwwww
What a constellation prize for being killed off OITNB! ? Lol, congratulations you two!
Constellation prize: when you not just get something for losing, but something amazing that makes the hearts of lesbians soar like the stars in the sky.
Also a perfect title for that “shoot for the moon, even if you miss you’ll land among the stars” quote
At least for the moment, love is real.
Riese if I ever get engaged will you write my engagement announcement?
THIS IS NOT A DRILL THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
LOVE it, LOVE this !
I have never been this happy about a celebrity marriage before. I can’t wait till we get to start seeing engagement pictures and wedding plans and bachelorette pictures and wedding pictures…this is just gonna be the gift that keeps on giving!
Congrats ladies, and congrats to US!
SQUEEEEEEEEEEE
I came here looking for breaking news reporting and it’s exactly what I got. I’m so excited y’all. Cheers all around
Came here to congratulate Stef on not bursting into to flames typing that headline, somehow less surprised to find the task delegated XD
oh don’t worry
OMG this has made me ridiculously happy!!!
It makes sense, after the killing Samira took.
It’s the perfect love story:
Work on television’s gayest show
Talk about lesbian sex for a year
Realise you’re gay
Divorce your husband but stay friends
Share custody of your gorgeous sausage dog
Make out with the cutest human ever
Fall in love with said human
Make everyone fawn over your adorableness as a couple
Get engaged ?
Maybe 2016 isn’t such a terrible year after all.
That’s wonderful! Congrats to them. =)
Aww, how cute. Did Lauren get some bling too? The only downside to their union is that Samira had to leave NYC.
I would just like to make one aside comment and that is, I much preferred Lauren’s old hairstyle to this suburban soccer mom bob she’s she has now.
Always good when someone is happy in public to take a moment to remark upon their appearance, lol
Yay! They’re so cute!
They are too adorable!! Maybe love is not a lie after all.
I want to have a wedding shower themed party for this but I don’t have friends IRL who would come.
Which is making me question every decision that has led to me being a grad student/teacher hermit far from home.
