Real-life couple Dax Shepard, Kristen Bell stars of the action film Hit & Run have been engaged for two years, but they aren’t walking down the aisle any time soon. The couple told CNN that they will not marry until their gay friends can.
CNN reports:
I don’t believe in standing in the way of love, and I want to stand up for that right,” Bell, 32, said. “And that’s what it is. If someone wants to commit their life to another person, why would I not bolster that argument?”
Plus, her fiancé added, throwing a wedding before then “would just be tacky.”
Shepard, 37, told CNN that taking a stance on gay marriage is by no means a way to put off a wedding.
“Do you know what this thing costs?” Shepard asked, holding up Bell’s engagement ring. “This is more commitment than getting a tattoo! Like … we own this thing!”
So no, he went on, it’s not that they’re “punishing America by not getting married. We’re not going to have a party when half of our friends … can’t do that thing we’re doing. We’re not going to ask them to come celebrate a right they don’t have. That’s just tacky! Forget like anything else, it’s like really tacky for us.”
