TEANECK, N.J. (WPIX) Avi Smolen met his boyfriend Justin when they were both camp counselors in Nyack, New York. They fell in love and got engaged last year. The 2 twenty-somethings are gay, but like many straight couples, Smolen and his fiance asked a community newspaper to publish their wedding announcement.

"When they decided to actually publish it, I thought this is great. My community recognizes me and the milestone in my life," Smolen told PIX 11 News.
