On October 6, Jeffrey Goodman, Mr. Fire Island Leather 2004, and “the love of [his] life,” longtime life-partner Ralph Storrier, Jr., got married, in a Jewish ceremony, under the chupah (canopy), in the theater at the Coney Island Museum, with Cantor Sandy Goodman (not a relative) presiding, in the presence of Jeff’s mother, Marie Scillitani, and other relatives, as well as friends, neighbors, and colleagues from New York City, Fire Island, and elsewhere.
Jeff and Ralph were married, by a judge, in a civil ceremony, at the beginning of the year. They met, on a blind date in the Village, Ralph told us, in March 1997.
A sumptuous Italian wedding feast, at Gargiulo’s, a few blocks from the museum, followed the earlier festivities.
