Former Idol Contestant Getting Married To His Boyfriend

wenn1085983jv.jpg

Jim Verraros, from the first season of American Idol, is getting married to his boyfriend of 4 years, Bill Brennan, this coming Saturday in Oak Brook, IL.

The two met after Bill messaged Jim on MySpace following his stint on American Idol.

Why don't we ever get any messages like that???? Well, Perez is not on MySpace (or Facebook). But we read all our email! Ha

Sadly, same-sex marriage is not legal in Illinois yet, but Verraros says on the couple's website:

"This wedding is a culmination of our lives so far, and our lives from this point onward. It is so imperative to the both of us that our friends and family see just how in love we are, and how happy we are to share it with everyone."

Congrats to the happy couple!!!

      Since they are not getting legally married they won't have to worry about getting a divorce when their relationship is over.

      Sooooooooo they aren't *really* getting married then are they?

      Haaaaaaaaaaaa!!



    3. 3

      Do you REALLY need to have it broken down for you why you don't ever get any messages like that???

      He needs to go to IOWA if he wants to make it legal. If he is worried about the "LAW" and making a statement he needs to MAKE it LEGAL. If he wants to get married NOW, then he should travel to where it can be held LEGAL by the law of that area. Otherwise, he is blowing hot air and it's nothing more than a "commitment ceremony" which amounts to a hill of beans LEGALLY. (that does NOT mean that the couple do not love each other, that's not the idea behind what I am addressing here.)

      Fantastic! They'll have to settle for "Domestic Partnership" in Illinois for now…unless they move next door to Iowa.



    14. 14

      i didn't even realize he was from illinois! oak brook is 15 minutes from my house! craaazy stuff haha



    15. 15

      I guess someone who sings at local store openings is considered newsworthy on this site. And how are they going to get married in a state that doesn't recognize gay marriage? Mario, tell your sis and her co-writer that they need to steal stories from better sites.



    16. 16

      HOW IS THIS NEWS?! I HAVE NO IDEA WHO THIS GUY IS AND HE'S FROM A SEASON OF AMERICAN IDOL THAT WAS NEARLY A DECADE AGO. JUST BECAUSE IT INVOLVES SOMEONE GAY, DOESN'T MAKE IT NEWS!!!! UGH



    17. 17

      i met them both a few years back at bridal expos.. && they are still going strong. yay them



    18. 18

      OMG…I had to google him to see who he was and, boy, did I ever get a shock. Not just the nude pics and risque movies…but what he looked like on Idol. He was a total geek and now I feel a bit…moist….

      awww that's pathetically sad



    20. 20

      Ahhh! Good for them even though they're not going to be legally married.

      I live like 5 minutes away from Oak Brook, IL.



    21. 21

      "Why don't we ever get any messages like that????"

      Why would you set yourself up by writing something like that? You and everyone else knows why you don't get messages like that. Do you really need to ask??? Do you really want the answer???? You're fat, disgustingly ugly, hateful, stupid, shallow and utterly useless in every way imaginable. If you fell over dead nobody would care or feel bad about it.

      This shits me…every-one has the right to be married and miserable :) They should just change the law and be done with it!



    23. 23

      How sad that they don't have the (equal) right of getting married, loving or hating it after a few years (months), then duking it out in a nasty divorce like the rest of us!



    24. 24

      Um… why don't they come to Iowa. Gay marriage is legal here, and Illinois borders Iowa.



    25. 25

      Congratz!



    26. 26

      Yay! Congrats to them both!

      Re: Wrenn – …but enough about you….

      lmao. I used to be friends with him in High School and I found out he's getting married by reading Perez Hilton… I guess it's not that much different than finding out from Facebook, but damn.
