His Boyfriend Literally Swam Away During the Proposal

Welcome back to Weddings-ish with Jove! This week, Jove is joined by newlywed author, global educator, creator, and host of And They’re Jewish, Hen Mazzig, for a joyful, emotional conversation about love, identity, and celebrating openly in a complicated world. Hen shares his modern love story with his husband Mark, from meeting on Tinder in London to navigating long distance, COVID separation, and ultimately building a life together in the UK. Along the way, we hear about a handwritten “be my boyfriend” T-shirt, proposals at sea in Greece, a counter-proposal with three rings, and the quiet care that defines lasting partnership. We then dive into their stunning Santorini wedding — a celebration that was part fashion show, part spiritual ceremony, and part communal healing moment. From breaking the glass together under the chuppah to a trans rabbi officiating, runway-style blessings, couture fashion, and fireworks over the Aegean Sea, every detail was intentional and deeply meaningful. Hen reflects on reclaiming Jewish tradition, queer visibility, and cultural pride through joy. Episode Highlights: - Meeting on Tinder and choosing each other through long distance - A Greece proposal that involved swimming away… - Why both grooms broke the glass under the chuppah - Fashion, symbolism, and “coastal babes” wedding styling - Reclaiming tradition and celebrating queer Jewish joy If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review on Spotify, Amazon, Apple Podcasts, or Love Stories TV’s YouTube channel. 💌 Have a question for Jove?
