A Texas gay couple were surprised when
singer Jennifer Hudson performed at their wedding ceremony.
Chris and Scott Lindsey exchanged vows
on Wednesday, July 7 in Dallas as part of the W Hotels and the Human
Rights Campaign's (HRC) marriage equality initiative called TURN IT
UP FOR CHANGE.
The Lindseys, together 14 years, said
in a video that they met online.
“We both had kids,” Chris Lindsey
said. “So, that was a very big thing that brought us together.”
“This is a special union, because
they helped fight for those rights,” Hudson said, a reference to
the couple's involvement with HRC.
After the men were pronounced married,
a curtain dropped and Hudson appeared.
She performed her gay marriage anthem I
Still Love You for the couple and their guests.

“Jennifer Hudson was the cherry on
top,” Scott Lindsey said. “But the most important thing about
today was that our four kids were sitting right there.” (The video
