Brandon Morgan and Dalan Wells, the
couple who attracted national attention with a homecoming kiss, are
engaged to marry.
Returning home from a six-month
deployment in Afghanistan last year, Morgan was met on the tarmac by
his boyfriend, Wells, an artist.
A photo of Morgan leaping into Wells'
arms for a kiss received thousands of comments and likes after it was
posted on the Gay Marines Facebook page. Most commenters left notes
of encouragement.
The response, Morgan said, was
“overwhelming.”
“It's been overwhelming, honestly. I
didn't expect this. We didn't do it for the fame at all.”
“It is a homecoming picture,” he
said. “Gay, straight, lesbian no matter who you are, love is
love.”
On Saturday, the pair posted a video in
which Morgan asked Wells to be his husband.
In the 40-second clip, Wells and Morgan
are seen dining in a restaurant as Wells expresses surprise that an
unseen couple is marrying after dating less than a year.
“Well, with that,” Morgan says,
getting up from the table.
“Nooooo,” a surprised Wells says.
On bended knee, Morgan asks, “Dalan
Wells will you do me the honor of spending your life with me?”
Wells immediate agrees and the two
share a hug and kiss.
