Newlyweds David and Tre'Darrious Anderson are natives to Memphis,Tennessee. They are one of the youngest Gay couples from the area who took part in having a commitment ceremony in Washington, D.C, where gay marriage has been legalized since April 9, 2009.
It was reported by Roz Edward from the Tri-State Defender, that the two young men met in the month of july of 2010. David and Tre'Darrious made the plans to become official on January 17,2013, which is the day they applied for their marriage liscence in Washington.
The Ceremony took place in front of the Lincon Memorial and the couple flew back to Memphis for a personal celebration with exclusive invited guests.
Gay marriage has not yet been legalized in Memphis, Tennessee. Memphis's local newspaper The Commercial Appeal reported in June of last year that "The Shelby County Democratic Party was the first in Tennessee to voice approval of President Barack Obama's announcement in support of gay marriage".
Justin Joy, chairman of the Shelby County Republican Party, told The Commercial
Appeal that "a majority of Tennessee residents oppose gay marriage".
