Bridegroom Page #3
He was a leader
in all aspects of the word,
In sports, and in school.
- # on the battlefield...
- Every time you met tom,
It felt like you were meeting
your best friend.
And it didn't matter
who you were...
He always had your back.
I think tom went to culver
Instead of the high school
in his hometown
Because he saw
it as an opportunity
To open his horizons,
And, you know, his parents
played a big role in that.
His mom worked at culver
Primarily so that they could
afford the reduced tuition
So that tom would have
all those opportunities.
He came out to me
our senior year.
It was at night, and we were
sitting in the grass,
And I remember he got really
serious all of a sudden,
And he said, "I have something
to tell you...
I'm gay. "
Then he put his head in his lap,
And he was crying
and really emotional about it.
of being judged.
It didn't surprise me at all.
This is coming
from my friend who,
Probably three or four
weeks ago,
Was singing "I'm a barbie girl,"
While jumping on a trampoline
in his backyard.
- He knew everybody,
and everybody knew him.
I felt like
my popularity scale rose
Just because
I hung out with him.
Tom was friends
with anne hathaway in school.
He also was friends
with tom hanks' daughter.
my mind around it,
Because here was tom,
this sort of midwestern,
Corn-fed,
american-pie-eating guy,
Who came
from this tiny town in indiana,
Who then went
to military school.
He was able
to get along and succeed
and academic circle
And then went to vassar,
which is this liberal place
And a completely different vibe.
He just sort of was magic.
- Tom, for as beautiful as he was
and, you know
The fact that he knew
how beautiful he was,
He did not care at all
about how other people looked.
And he did not care
where you came from,
What car you drove.
He just accepted anybody
and everybody for who they were,
And I think because he was gay
And because
he knew what it was like
To be not the mainstream,
normal person.
He told me many times
How much he respected me because
I was hearing-impaired.
What 20-something-year-old
says to you,
"wow, you're amazing...
you've done so much"?
"I'm in total awe of you... "
Who says that? Nobody.
- He gave recitals
of classical music.
He wrote
incredibly heartfelt lyrics.
But he was tough,
'cause he could kick your ass.
I know
that his dad was very stern.
The idea of manhood
and masculinity
And presenting yourself
in a certain way
Was important to him.
basically play that role.
And tom knew
how to play it very well.
There was definitely
An unspoken understanding
between tom and I
That he was gay.
And I know
that was a struggle for him,
Because he still hadn't told
his parents.
I think tom
was literally worried
That his dad would kill him.
- Well, I'm leaving kalispell
right now,
And it's roughly 3:00.
And, yep, I am nervous.
I have been talking
to my family,
And everyone's crying
I'm gonna be on my cellphone
So it looks like
I'm not talking to myself.
Everyone gave me money
and told me to be safe.
So, here I go.
- After graduation,
he got a scholarship
To go to the school
here in town.
and so it was hard
For me to not have him take it.
'cause he wanted
to go to california.
- I knew,
when he went to hollywood,
He was going to be okay,
And he can mix in with
where a lot of gay people were.
- I didn't even know
he went to...
my mind is gone.
I can't remember many things.
- # I love rock 'n' roll
# put another dime
in the jukebox, baby #
- # what you are
# we made you
# oh, if you really love me
# a whole new wo-o-o-o-o-o-rld
# that's where we'll be
- We first met shane
At a family wedding
in missoula, montana.
He said, "eventually,
I'd like to move to california. "
We got a phone call from him
that he was here.
- So we kind of tried
to steer him...
Helping him get a job,
a place to live.
And we became
like his adopted parents.
- I think he was barely
18 years old,
This thin kid with curly hair,
Out of montana
into the big city.
He was very quiet,
very reserved.
- He showed me some head shots
that he took.
- He had wavy, wavy hair,
and he looked like liberace.
- Oh. Right. Right, right.
- And I thought, "oh, my god. "
- right.
- "what am I gonna tell
this kid?"
Shane said
he wanted to be an actor.
it became clear
He just wanted
to get to california.
- I got a job working
as a production assistant
For a tv show.
- Shane and I met
in the tape vault,
And it was pretty much
love at first sight.
He's got that small-town
kind of quality to him.
He's just so likeable
and funny and so humble.
Shane doesn't necessarily see
sort of what everyone else sees.
- One of my friends
that I worked with,
She invited me to go bowling
with one of her friends.
- We had this idea
That we had to get tom and shane
to meet each other.
But we didn't tell them
that it was a setup.
- She said that there was gonna
And that he's active
in the industry,
So she thought that maybe
it would be a good person
To be connected with.
- We get there.
He is ridiculously attractive...
Gorgeous, if you will...
so charismatic.
He was an actor.
I think he had been
in a few things.
And almost immediately,
shane became skeptical.
He was like, "who is this guy?"
And I'm like, "why is he
bothering you so much, shane?"
- He was four years
older than me.
Like, he had traveled the world,
You know,
spoke a different language.
He played
a bunch of instruments.
He was just so cocky
and confident,
And, well, of course, he, like,
And then here I am, like,
can't even knock five pins down.
So, it wasn't too long
after we went bowling
That we all got together again
at my friend lizzy's apartment.
It was that night
That we finally exchanged
phone numbers.
You know,
a few times here and there.
And he was always singing.
He was always happy.
- # life is a highway
# I want to ride it
all night long #
- Tom and I, we would spend
all day together,
And then he would go home,
Which would lead to,
later in the evening,
Talking on the phone
for a few hours.
It did not take long
For me to really feel
comfortable with tom,
That I could tell him anything.
Like,
I trusted him with my life.
- Tom was a very confident
person.
he went after shane.
At first, shane was like, "aah,"
'cause he had never been
in a relationship before.
This was his,
you know, first love.
- We went to hear tom one time,
the room while he was playing
Because he wanted to make sure
everybody was paying attention
