Feimster And Smith Got Married After Five Years Of Relationship
Feimster met Smith, a former kindergarten teacher, at Pride in Chicago on June 27, 2015.

Feimster told PEOPLE, “I was happy. We’ve been together for almost six years. If after five and a half years you don’t know who you’re going to marry, you’re in trouble. I knew it was good because it felt right.” Fortune told her partner Jacquelyn before they got married that the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court made them decide to get married. She went on to say, “I hope marriage equality is here to stay. But we wanted to be more proactive and get married while we still can.”
