Jim Parsons Talks Waiting to Get Married

Jim Parsons recently appeared on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where he talked about marrying Todd Spiewak in May after dating for nearly 15 years. Here's what he had to say, as reprinted by E! News:

"We just didn't care about the act of it that much to be honest with you, and that sounds cold in a way. But I finally thought, let's have a party then for the celebration of and we'll go ahead and legalize this thing. And I really thought it would kind of end at that—kind of a party feel. But it was so much more meaningful in the moment to me than I predicted, and it's been resonantly more meaningful to me afterward than I saw coming...You know, I had been an adult gay person for so long at a time where that wasn't possible—that life was ‘fine' in so many ways. You know, what I mean? Like, I got along fine and our relationship did." 

And on how their relationship is different after getting married:
"Well, I don't know in a specific day-to-day sense what it is. Like, I don't know that there is anything. There is an underlying thing—a little buzz of something—though that I know this now...And I keep reminding myself of it. Like, I kind of forget. And then I'm like, ‘We're a legal thing just like mom and dad were,' whatever."
