It’s not enough that former N-Sync boy-band star Lance Bass is getting “married” to his lover Michael Turchin. The December 20 ceremonies are being taped for a 90-minute “historical wedding” special on the E! channel to be aired on February 5 with the title Lance Loves Michael: The Lance Bass Wedding. E! touts it as “the first time an American television network is broadcasting a celebrity wedding between two men!”
On their wedding being referred to as the "gay wedding of the decade," Lance explained, "It's spectacular that people care that much, one just about our wedding, it's so special that people care. But two, that people are so excited about a gay wedding." He went on, "To know that people are excited to see something like this go down just shows you how much things have changed and we're just honored to be a part of that change."
The husbands-to-be hope that their wedding will be a beacon of hope for kids struggling to accept their sexuality. "As a little kid from Mississippi, I would have loved to have seen something like this on my television because there's a lot of little kids out there in small towns that need something like this," Lance added.
It will also include an N-Sync reunion with all the bandmates (except for Justin Timberlake, who’s still touring). E! oozes “Talk about a Merry Christmas!”
PS: Will the special include the “penis-themed bachelor party”?
