Lance Bass and Michael Turchin to marry Dec. 20

We’ve all known for awhile now that Lance Bass and Michael Turchin are planning to get married.

But what we did not know was when.

We do now.

The gorgeous couple, who have been engaged for more than a year, will be tying the knot on December 20.

I chatted with Lance back in May about the nuptials.

‘Never in my lifetime did I think that I’d be able to get married legally. It’s just amazing how fast everything is going right now and I’m just honored to be able to share my wedding with the world. As a little gay kid growing up in Mississippi, I would have loved to have turned on the television and see that happen and say, “Oh my gosh, there’s nothing wrong with me and I can have that.”‘

Lance admitted that he always dreamed of one day getting married and having a big wedding but he did not allow himself to believe he would be standing across from another groom on that day.

‘Growing up in the South, all you think about is family and who you were going to marry. At that time, of course, I was kidding myself that I was going to marry a girl and I always dreamed of that wedding and starting a family.’

Since announcing his engagement to Turchin last year, Bass says their three-year relationship has not really changed.

‘I think it’s going to be really different after we walk down the aisle – I think there’s something about that that’s going to make it so real to us. There’s probably going to be a lot of tears.’
