Social media can be a demoralizing abyss sometimes, but it sure makes love easy to share. 

Spc. Shane Adriano and Pfc. Tristian Resz exchanged nuptials last week in a small Springfield, Missouri, courthouse ceremony. While the event itself was meant as an intimate affair between friends and family, the snapshot of their wedded kiss spread like wildfire.

The photo was also greeted with hundreds of positive comments, celebrating the romance these two servicemen have found in each other. 

"Do not let anybody make you feel like your marriage is any less valuable than theirs," user Alexandria Recker said in a comment. "They are simply jealous you have the courage to wear that uniform and be happy with the man of your dreams next to you."

The pair responded with gratitude. 

"It's a great feeling to find the one that makes you happy," Resz said in the photo's comments. "Thank you everyone for the kind words."

"Thank you everyone," Adriano added.
