‘Tahitian Honeymoon’
The BUTT offices are still reeling from the shocking news that one of our favorite couples: artist Terence Koh and his longterm boyfriend Garrick Gott, a very talented graphic designer, were married last week in one of those private ceremonies ‘for a handful of their closest friends’ that are usually reserved for folks like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Koh wore his mother’s wedding dress, to which he’d added 30 feet of tulle, flying in the face of the custom that the bride must be virginal to wear white. When we asked him via email about what prompted this whirlwind elopement, Koh replied, (in lower case letters, of course), ‘it was a time again to celebrate to make life and our futures more beautiful.’ And how was the Tahitian honeymoon going? ‘i just learnt to top. i guess that’s what marriage is for. change. for fun and love and to celebrate the beauty of life in the face of death.’ We would have happily celebrated with the lovebirds, but alas press were kept out of the affair (a.k.a. we weren’t invited). Even if we couldn’t be there, we’re happy to ooh and ahh over the lovely wedding pictures by Chrissie Miller and Michael Bilsborough, below. We wish them a very long and prosperous future.

Really, what is the point to bad mouth these guys?
I wish I had the drive it takes to become an artis of his magnitude. And secretly I kindda wish that I got married too – but maybe not in a dress.

Terence Koh is a pretentious loser of the highest fucking order and one day, with any luck, he’ll choke to death on his own sense of self worth.

Tahiti looks a lot like some beach in Montauk.
boring gay people do this sort of thing added on August 3, 2009 :
Ohhh! it is so groundbreaking for a gay man to marry in your mother’s wedding dress! And you are so sassy saying that you just learned to top during your honeymoon!
