Jonathan Bennett Says He And His Fiancé Were Rejected By Wedding Venue For Being Gay

The "Mean Girls" actor told The Knot it was "a sucker punch to the gut," but also the moment the couple realized "our wedding was bigger than us."

If you start seeing more of Jonathan Bennett in the months leading up to his wedding, well, that’s because he planned it that way.  The “Mean Girls” actor and his fiancé, Jaymes Vaughan, grace the cover of The Knot’s summer 2021 issue, titled “Pride & Joy.” In the accompanying interview, the two men share some of the challenges they’ve faced as a same-sex couple planning a wedding.  Bennett, who stars in the new comedy “Take Me to Tarzana” and had a recent guest stint on ABC’s “Station 19,” told the magazine that he and Vaughan initially planned to have their ceremony at a Palace Resorts property in Mexico, but allege that they were turned away because they are gay.
