Speaking to PEOPLE after their Zoom wedding last year, Aylward said: "Getting mean comments is nothing new. I thought that once we were married people would be like, 'Oh, they're for real.' Because we would get comments saying, 'This is fake, it's for publicity,' or, 'She's using him for money or a YouTube channel,' or whatever." Burcaw explained that despite being bombarded with such comments that underly ableism, both he and his new wife are content in knowing that his disability does not make him any less of a valuable partner to her.
