The papers were signed on Monday with a solicitor in the city of Medellin and establish the men as a family unit with inheritance rights.
They are the first legally recognized polyamorous family in Colombia.
Lawyer and gay rights activist German Rincon Perfetti tells the AFP, “It is a recognition that other types of families exist.”
Same-sex marriage was legalized in Colombia in April 2016, making it the fourth South American country to do so, after Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay.
Now that the papers have been signed, the trio says they’re planning a marriage celebration, which they promise will be an “artistic and cultural event.” Then, of course, comes the honeymoon!
Congrats to the happy trouple!
