A gay couple has sparked passionate discussion online after sharing photos from their Disney-themed wedding.

Chicago locals Garrett Smith and Jason Bitner, who got engaged at Disneyland two years ago, dressed up as Buzz Lightyear and Sheriff Woody for their reception.

The pair even danced their first dance to Randy Newman's 'You've got a friend in me' - a popular track from the Toy Story soundtrack.
“About a year out from the wedding we started to get more serious about the wedding," the couple told Pink News.

"That’s when we were like this is our special day we should do what we want and have the things that we like."

“We love Halloween and we throw an elaborate themed party every year. We also enjoy Disney-bounding in our everyday and cosplaying at comic cons and the renaissance faire. So it was a logical decision to combine all of these things for our wedding!”

It's just logical, you guys!
“Garrett wanted to dress as Buzz and Woody because ‘You’ve got a friend in me” is one of his favourite Disney songs, and has known for a long time he wanted that to be the song he danced to as his first dance,” Bitner said.

“So of course [I] had to be Sheriff Woody. Both characters are reminiscent of each of our personalities.”

Unfortunately the internet couldn't enjoy the wholesome, feel-good content without getting up in arms.

"Imagine having so little personality that you have a Disney themed wedding," one man wrote.

"Why are y’all arguing about gay Disney weddings I’m lost," another tweeted.

This is why we can't have nice things.
