Love has a way of finding us in the most unexpected of places, and that’s exactly what happened to Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka. One fateful day in New York City, their paths crossed on a street corner, and Cupid struck his arrow. Harris was so captivated by his feelings that he made it a point to be wherever they had first met. His unwavering dedication paid off, and they eventually moved in together. As a testament to their love, Harris proposed to Burtka at the very spot where their journey had begun.

Cynthia Nixon and Christine Marinoni – 18 Years Together

In the iconic HBO drama “S** and the City” from 1998, Miranda Hobbes portrays a determined career woman grappling with her own unique challenges in the realm of relationships. In reality, Cynthia Nixon, the brilliant actress behind this fictional lawyer, has been happily married to Christine Marinoni for nearly a decade. What truly sets their love story apart is their shared passion for advocacy and public service. It was at a protest, where both were advocating for smaller class sizes in New York’s public schools through the Alliance for Quality Education, that Nixon and Marinoni first crossed paths. Their deep connection eventually led them to exchange vows after the passing of the Marriage Equality Act in May 2012. This law held a special significance for the couple, as they had begun dating in 2004.
