A gay couple in Cyprus have gotten married while behind bars after they met during a bingo game in prison.

Kevork Tontian and Wemson Gabral da Costa have become the second same-sex couple to get married in a European Union prison.

Tontian, who is Cypriot, had such strong feelings for his Brazilian partner that he deliberately broke the law again after his release so they could be reunited.

The couple are both still prison in Nicosia, Cyprus, where they wed last week surrounded by prison guards and a number of inmate friends. Under the country’s laws, they entered into a civil partnership, which gives the same rights as marriage except it doesn’t allow access to adoption.

The couple successfully petitioned prison authorities to let them share a cell.
