'Duh, we wore crowns,' Bethany later told Them.us.

'Not for the gag of it all, but because it feels like something we've done in the past, so we had to keep the tradition alive. In this life's iteration, this is, in fact, our royal wedding.'

There were no family, cake, reception, flowers, nor rings exchanged between the gender-bending duo, who first secured their marriage certificate from the City Clerk's Marriage Bureau. 

Back in November, Nico ominously told People that they weren't 'necessarily, completely welcome' at Bethany's family holiday celebrations because 'of certain things that were said.'

'To have for as much as you are willing to give to hold for as long as you want to be held from this day forward backwards sideways shortways longways all ways and no ways,' Nico - who's three years sober - gushed.

'I find the stars in your eyes north show me the way home. Deep between your ears, your ribs, your thighs. This land is your land this land is my land from Missouri to Illinois to California to New York. From Mexico to Texas to Peru. From upstate to Ojai to oh my god do I love you and my god loves you and oh my love is god and oh my god is you.'

Meanwhile, Bethany - who gave him a binder of all her journal entries about him - vowed to be with the New Trier High School grad 'forever, forever, forever, I vow forever, I vow no matter what.'

Meyers reflected to Them.us: 'My religious upbringing had told me it would be different. Young ladies like myself went from their parents' home to their husband's home, no pit stops...They probably also didn't marry bisexual men while simultaneously dating women'

'Honestly, it's shocking that it happened this way,' Meyers reflected to Them.us.

'My religious upbringing had told me it would be different. Young ladies like myself went from their parents' home to their husband's home, no pit stops. They certainly didn't have "write about it for a queer publication!" pasted in their childhood wedding scrapbook. They probably also didn't marry bisexual men while simultaneously dating women.'

After the wedding, the numerology enthusiasts hopped into a pickup truck with their puppies and drove to upstate New York for their honeymoon.
