TODD SPIEWAK AND JIM PARSONS WAITED 15 YEARS TO GET MARRIED

Parsons and Spiewak's blind date in 2002 occurred at a karaoke bar by Spiewak's boss and Parsons's best friend from grad school. Spiewak later revealed that their connection was pretty quick.

In August 2010, in Parsons's acceptance speech after winning an Emmy for lead actor in a comedy series, he subtly mentioned his love for Spiewak and a list of other names, including his mom.

In May 2012, Parsons, who was already going out to red carpet events with Spiewak, officially came out to the public about his sexuality. In his 2013 Emmy Awards acceptance speech, he called Spiewak his favorite person on Earth.

Even though Parsons was not sure they would get married over the years, the couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in May 2017 at the Rainbow Room in New York. For their wedding, cell phones were forbidden.

Parsons's "The Big Bang Theory" costar Mayim Bialik attended the wedding, and she said:

"It was a real honor to be there and to witness that. I tend to not be a real [big] wedding person … But this was special in a lot of ways … It was really nice to be at a Hollywood event that didn't feel Hollywood in that sense."

Despite having waited 15 years to get married, Parsons believed it was well worth the wait. When asked why they waited for so long, Parsons said:

"We just didn't care about the act of it that much, to be honest with you. That sounds cold in a way, but I finally thought: 'Well, let's have a party then for the celebration, and we'll go ahead and legalize this thing.'"

TODD SPIEWAK AND JIM PARSONS RECEIVED AN AWARD FOR THEIR WORK

In October 2013, they both received the Inspiration Award at the Respect Awards. It was an honor by the LGBT youth advocacy organization GLSEN, and they gave their first interview as a couple together.

It was also Parsons and Spiewak's first time together on a stage. Parsons stated that his relationship with Spiewak was never intended to be an act of activism but rather an act of love and living life in a traditional way.
