The first 90 Day Fiance male same-sex couple were wed at the Mansarda winery in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico in an intimate ceremony that included both Kenny and Armando’s children.
Kenneth gave this exclusive statement to People about his big day, “it’s been a long time coming and we’re very happy. We’re excited to finally be here.” Armando revealed that in addition to the denials from court, the coronavirus pandemic also delayed the event.
“It was a battle in many ways, and so it’s surreal to finally be able to get married,” he said.

While quarantine resulted in the demise of many couples, Kenny and Armando said it made them stronger. Kenneth joked, “we actually had a lot more time to think about it, and we planned an epic wedding and a lot of things worked out even to our advantage because we had to wait. We haven’t killed each other. And after quarantine, that’s pretty good.”
“It means everything. I have really supportive children that have always had my back and never let me down,” Kenneth said of their attendance, “having them here to witness their dad getting married after all these years is amazingly special for me.” Indeed, the support Kenneth got from his family was touching to watch during the 90 Day Fiance season. Kenny’s children showed the same love towards their father and Armando by lighting a unity candle with Hannah to symbolize the melding of the two families.
“They love our relationship and that means the world to me,” Kenneth said. He added, “we are very family-oriented and our kids are a very important part of our lives, so we included them throughout the whole wedding in many aspects.”
The ceremony included aspects of Armando’s culture, such as dancers and a mariachi band. And the venue is very special to both Kenny and Armando. It’s in a wine region of Mexico where they would meet before Kenneth made the big move to Mexico.

It’s all come full circle. Kenneth said, “we knew that was the place, and we chose the very first venue we went to. It’s just surrounded by mountains and vineyards, and it is gorgeous. I actually never dreamed that I’d be getting married in a place like this and in a different country than I was born in. It’s really surreal for me.”
Congratulations to Armando and Kenneth!
