who covered Out in 2024<\/a>, talked about Sudsina on his podcast, and his now-husband remembers him saying, \u201cSo I\u2019m in love with this guy. I met him two weeks ago. I\u2019m going up to visit him at SF Pride. Ostensibly, I\u2019m going there to see my friends. But that\u2019s a lie,\u201d which he thought was endearing.<\/p>\nThe two were already in love with one another. But as the Times writes, when Booster showed Sudsina a director’s cut of Fire Island before it was released, his husband was brought to tears by the end of the movie, which Booster rewrote after being inspired by their conversations in Puerto Vallarta, including one indelible experience where they left their friends and sat in a cabana all day and talked.<\/p>\n
In 2024, during a trip to Jeju Island in South Korea, where Booster was born and adopted from, he proposed to Sudsina, and the two got married just two years later. The ceremony took place at the Exploratorium in San Francisco and was officiated by Booster’s childhood best friend, an ordained Methodist minister, Rev. Sarah Casey. During the ceremony, their friends, who included Mitra Jouhari, Ahmed Zaeem, Phil Tassin, Matt Rogers<\/a>, and Bowen Yang<\/a>, gave emotional speeches. <\/p>\nThe story ended with Booster’s now-husband telling the Times that he’s excited about married life. “I feel when I\u2019m with Joel, I\u2019m in a rom-com,” Sudsina said. “It\u2019s always an adventure. And I love that we’ve already worked through so much, keep meeting new versions of each other, and continue to grow together. I think he\u2019s going to be an amazing father, an amazing partner, an amazing friend.\u201d<\/p>\n
