"You know most normal people get to know each other before they get married."

When Ryan told Pete he was pregnant in March of 2007, he found himself in a 24-hour Las Vegas wedding chapel a few hours later. A few days after he found himself in a mansion in Los Angeles, trying to figure out exactly who his husband is and how to live life as someone other than Ryan Ross, all while trying to cope with the life growing inside him.

It takes patience to appreciate domestic bliss; volatile spirits prefer unhappiness.
--George Santayana
