Couple with 34-Year Age Gap Defend 'Relationship Non-Negotiables,' Explain Why They Only Drink Alcohol Together (Exclusive)

Gracen and Kevin Geagan share four "relationship non-negotiables," including nightly prayer and not drinking alcohol without each other

NEED TO KNOW

• The couple's boundaries sparked debate online, but they emphasize that these choices create clarity and strengthen their relationship

• Their story has inspired others, especially those in age-gap relationships, to adopt more intentional relationship practices

When Gracen and Kevin Geagan sat down to film a video detailing their "relationship non-negotiables" in late April, they had no idea it would garner such a passionate response online.

The couple, who have a 34-year age gap, started the video by explaining that they "pray together every single night."

"Most of the time, Kevin leads the prayer, but every now and again, I'll take control," Gracen, 26, said in the video, before Kevin, 60, jokingly chimed in, "God knows I need praying over every now and then."

The automobile dealer explained that, "regardless of your faith," taking intentional time to express gratitude, thanks, and well wishes for others not only centers their relationship but also themselves as individuals.

However, it was the couple's second non-negotiable related to drinking alcohol that caused the most stir.

"We don't drink alcohol without each other," Gracen explained. "I know there're gonna be comments who find this absurd and crazy, but there's a vulnerability in drinking and being intoxicated, and that's not something I want to be without my partner present."

Kevin was quick to note that they each made the decision "individually," insisting that it was not something he implemented as a way of "controlling her."

"We didn't impose it on one another," he emphasized, noting that they "very much enjoy drinking socially, together, and with our friends, but it's not something we want to do without one another."

However, some commenters under the video, which garnered nearly 13 million views, were quick to label their marriage "strict," which Gracen tells PEOPLE couldn't be farther from the truth.

"Interestingly, we had never heard that perspective until this particular video," she says. "We've never thought of these as 'rules,' because that can carry a more negative or rigid connotation, and that's not how it feels in our relationship at all."

"To us, they're better described as boundaries — things that help keep us aligned and supportive of what's best for our relationship."

The couple, who wed in November 2025, echoed that sentimentin a follow-up videoabout the "controversial" principle, reiterating that it's "not about restriction, it's just about not putting ourselves in a place where we're vulnerable without each other."

Gracen — who owns a charcuterie business in Greenville, S.C. — emphasizes to PEOPLE that boundaries aren't about constraint, but rather give their relationship "shape."

"Without them, even something beautiful can lose its direction," she says. "For us, these choices create a sense of clarity and ease, not limitation."

While a select group of commenters criticized their boundaries around drinking, she notes that they've also received plenty of positive responses, which have "been the most meaningful part of all of this."

"We've heard from a surprisingly large number of people who are also in age-gap relationships who have reached out to say they feel more comfortable and confident after seeing our story shared openly," she shares.

"We've also received messages from people who are currently struggling in their relationships, saying they plan to incorporate some of these ideas — or wish they had earlier — which has been really impactful to hear," she adds.

Along with their habits surrounding prayer and alcohol consumption, the couple's other two non-negotiables in the original video related to handling conflict.

The couple explained that they are committed to "serving each other even in disagreements."

"It's easy to serve someone when it's 70 degrees and sunny, but when a thunderstorm rolls through, or inclement weather or you face a headwind, it becomes a little more difficult," Kevin explained in the video. "So we try to maintain our standards of behavior toward one another and kindness and courtesy, even if we are having a disagreement."

When asked what that looks like in practice, Gracen tells PEOPLE that, for them, "it comes down to remembering that even in a disagreement, this is still your closest person — your best friend — and someone who ultimately has your best interests at heart."

"In practice, that means shifting out of a mindset of trying to 'win' and instead focusing on understanding," she adds. "It can look like listening more intentionally, taking a step back when needed, or even doing something thoughtful for the other person in the middle of a disagreement."

"It keeps things grounded in the idea that you're on the same team, working through something together rather than against each other."

Their final non-negotiable is that they "don't keep score," or keep a list — mental or physical — of "all the ways they've been slighted."

Kevin explained that one of the best pieces of advice he got from his father was that in marriage, a lot of people focus on making it 50/50, when, in reality, everyone should "give their all" — a "full 100% each."

While the couple knows every relationship looks different, Gracen tells PEOPLE that, in the end, she hopes they inspire people to focus on "having better, more intentional relationships."

"Bottom line, I think people hear 'rules' and they think 'control,' but we hear 'clarity' and we think 'alignment,' " Kevin added in their follow-up TikTok.

"It's not for everybody, but it works for us. So you do you, and we'll do us," Gracen ended.

Everybridedreams of a grand entrance.

But forCasey James, her big main character moment was ruined because her guests couldn’t take their eyes off their plates.

“And the crowd goes mild,” one netizen commented on the embarrassing video.

Australian model and entrepreneur Casey James had herfairy-tale weddingwith Sydney socialite Warren Ginsberg in March.

Since then, she has been sharing videos and pictures of her special day with fans.

One particular video piqued many viewers’ interest, as it captured her guests’ reaction to her “second look” of the evening.

The Copini Beauty founder expected to be welcomed with loud cheers and applause.

But the big reveal turned out to be an utter flop.

“When you come down in your second look and get two claps,” read thetext in her video.

Her husband and a couple of others seemed to notice that the bride had walked in

Thankfully, her groom was ready and available to greet her, while a few waiters also joined in with supportive claps.

“All I’ve ever wanted from my favorite people,” the Sydney-based influencer jibed in her caption.

Viewers were sharply divided in the comments section, with some rolling their eyesat yet another “performative” wedding moment.

“People just come for food and booze,” one bluntly said, while another suggested, “Maybe try to just enjoy life.”

“You’re also walking into what looks like the buffet table, what did you expect a grand entrance to chicken tenders,” said another.

One asked, “Why does it have to be a show?”

“Weddings are so performative,” another declared.

Netizens were divided in the comments section of her TikTok video

Others rallied behind her, calling it a painfully relatable moment.

“Legit this is how I feel like my life is… haters everywhere,” one said.

Another said the bride and groom may have “Invited the wrong people.”

“At least the main one was there to clap for you,” read one comment.

Another viewer said, “These guest dont deserve you ! Im clapping for you queen.”

Others blamed the logistics, saying, “They need to announce you.”

“Same thing happened to me,” said another. “I walked into a nearly empty room and it was so awk. people complimented it throughout the night but there was literally NO moment when i walked in.”

“It’s YOUR biggest day of your life and it’s just a regular day to everybody else,” read one comment online

Image credits:caseyjamess_

Etiquette expert Kate Heussler agreed that the event should have had better logistics to accommodate all ofCasey’s big, dreamy wedding moments.

“Guests are not mind readers. If you want a cinematic entrance, it needs to be cued properly by the bridesmaids, MC, DJ or wedding planner,” she toldnews.com.au.

“Otherwise, people are chatting, eating, drinking, facing the wrong direction or simply unaware that this is meant to be a moment.”

The expert further said that there was nothing “narcissistic” about Caseywanting all eyes on herwhen she walked in.

“Wanting to feel celebrated at your own wedding is not narcissism – it’s very human,” she said.

Kate noted that couples often put a large portion of their hard-earned money into their wedding, along with plenty of emotional labor and planning, to create a “beautiful day” for themselves and their guests.

So, “if a bride has planned a second look, it’s completely understandable that she’d hope people notice it,” she added.

Warren and Casey met at a party in Sydney in 2019.

“You could say we fell hard for each other from day one,” the newlywed bridepreviouslysaid.

They dated for a couple of years before a year-long split when Casey moved abroad for her modeling career.

“My nana is the main reason we found our way back to each other as her and Warren stayed in touch throughout the year, we were broken up,” she recalled.

Warren proposed to her last year in Palm Beach, Australia, the same place where they had their wedding.

Casey spoke about the vision she had for her wedding dress, saying she wanted a classic, well-fitted, and timeless design.

She wore a KYHA-designed dress and a veil, embroidered with a special message.

“I had it custom embroidered with the words ‘Mumma, forever by my side’ as she was not physically with us on the day, but as an ode to her,” she said.

“I think you need to get married again,” one netizen commented on her video
