A Gay Ceremony on ABC’s ‘Brothers & Sisters’
After much anticipation on the set of ABC’s “Brothers & Sisters,” a wedding cake has arrived. The four-tier creation — adorned with flowers and blackberries — is locked in a freezer, out of sight from the curious cast members, who are wondering what the cake topper looks like.
Spotting a prop woman with the topper in her hands, Matthew Rhys — whose character, Kevin, weds Sunday (10 p.m. ET/PT) in the show’s Season 2 finale — calls her over. “Is it a man and a woman?” he asks. Getting a closer look, Rhys smiles and says, “Oh, it’s two men. Fantastic. There were jokes made that they wouldn’t be able to find two men, so they’d have to doctor the woman by adding a moustache.”
This is no typical TV wedding. It’s a gay commitment ceremony — the first same-sex union on American network TV between series regulars.
