A gay couple who received a\u00a0truly hateful response to their wedding invitation has\u00a0received a torrent of support from across the globe.<\/p>\n

When Keith Alan and Chad Michael from Canton, Ohio in the United States sent their wedding\u00a0invitations<\/a> out\u00a0to friends and family,\u00a0they simply expected a ‘yes’ or a ‘no,’ but one anonymous recipient replied in a manner so unexpected and offensive, it has gone viral (over 1,800 shares on Facebook.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The anonymous RSVP\u00a0threatened the couple and informed them that their invitation<\/a> had been forwarded to an anti-gay group who were planning on crashing their May wedding.<\/p>\n

The letter signed off with ‘SEE YOU AT THE ANTI-GAY SHOW!!’<\/p>\n

But, though Keith and Chad were shocked by the hateful response – and had no clue of its origin,\u00a0it only inspired them to keep going with the\u00a0ceremony that they have\u00a0been planning meticulously.<\/p>\n

\u201cOther than our initial shock of the letter, this made us both want to do it more.” Keith told the Fox News Network in America.<\/a>\u00a0\u201cLove will win in the end. That\u2019s what it comes down to.\u201d<\/p>\n

The same-sex pair, who met nine years ago, have been planning their big day\u00a0in great detail.<\/p>\n

They even created\u00a0hand-made bomboniere<\/a>\u00a0for guests – and a lovingly hand crafted wooden cake stand.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the couple has received\u00a0a flood of congratulations and words of encouragement from across the globe in numbers that far outweigh the haters!<\/p>\n
