Earlier this year, Memories’ owners said they would never cater a wedding with a same-sex couple.
Trevino—a member of Chicago’s GayCo Ensemble comedy troupe, which is producing a 50 States of Gay celebration—has said he ordered two pizzas from owner Crystal O’Connor. Trevino and Delgatto exchanged vows in a celebration, and the couple served Memories Pizza to their cheering friends and family.

For my part of the show, I had a wedding ceremony. Even though my husband had a ceremony in 2008 (when it was not legal), and got a certificate in Iowa in 2009, we have never had a legal ceremony with a reception in Illinois. Since our chosen state was Indiana, I decided to have a ceremony last night, and on Friday, I drove to Walkerton, Indiana, to Memories Pizza and have them cater my gay wedding. … Of course, they didn’t know it would be for a gay wedding.”
