Who Is Stan Cadwallader?

Stan Cadwallader and Jim Nabors’ Marriage
Cadwallader met Nabors in 1975, and they were partners for 38 years before they tied the knot. They got married in early December 2013, after gay marriage was legalized in Seattle, Washington.
Nabors was 82 and Cadwallader was 64 at the time of their marriage. Their wedding took place in a room at the Fairmont Olypic Hotel, and a judge officiated the ceremony.
In a phone interview, Nabors said, “I’m 82 and he’s in his 60s and so we’ve been together for 38 years and I’m not ashamed of people knowing, it’s just that it was such a personal thing, I didn’t tell anybody.”
“I’m very happy that I’ve had a partner of 38 years and I feel very blessed. And, what can I tell you, I’m just very happy,” the actor added.
However, before they made it official, Nabors said, “It’s pretty obvious that we had no rights as a couple, yet when you’ve been together 38 years, I think something’s got to happen there, you’ve got to solidify something. And at my age, it’s probably the best thing to do.”
