Marriage Proposal of the Day: In what is believed to be the first proposal of marriage between two gay men — and war vets — on a U.S. military base, Navy vet Cory Huston asked Marine Avarice Guerrero to marry him Tuesday at Camp Pendleton in San Diego. Here’s the story:

Under a bright Southern California sky at Camp Pendleton’s Camp Del Mar near Oceanside, California, a full two hours before his boyfriend’s return from the badlands of Afghanistan, Cory Huston waited nervously. Huston, who was discharged under the former Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy, chain smoked as he rehearsed the simple proposal he would deliver when Guerrero would arrive.
Finally, luggage in tow, Guerrero emerged with a smile on his face. Upon seeing Huston, Guerrero dropped his bags; aimed a kiss toward Huston’s lips; and opened his arms to his boyfriends waiting embrace. The time and distance of 10 months’ separation evaporated in a public show of affection that less than a year ago would have been cause for court martial. After a few minutes of emotional holding and kissing, Huston went anxiously down on one knee; looked up at Guerrero, who was dressed from head to toe in military fatigues; and produced an engagement ring and the time-honored phrase, “Will you marry me?”
Huston’s mild tremble, a result of hours and days of anticipation about this day, was quickly quieted by the one word every hopeful fiancé wants to hear: “Yes.”

Being in a military relationship, I’ve learned that he will not always be around me as much as I want him to. Yes, I miss the small things we used to do, basically everything about him. But as long as we get to talk on the phone or have vidchat dates when he’s away, then everything is worth it. I know he’s doing this for our future and I would not have it any other way. Because in the end, it’ll still be me and him, still strong and still in love. Seriously, one of the greatest feelings is seeing each other face to face after being away for a couple of months. And I can finally say, once again, that I will be seeing him in a couple of weeks! To celebrate everything we missed, we’re going to see Mickey and Minnie :)

Permalink I introduced my nephew, who turned two-years-old today, to the sky. He knows what planes and clouds are, but I don’t think he has ever understood the word “sky”. So while I was watching him earlier this week we were outside playing and I took the time to introduce him to the wide open, big, blue, and always changing sky above us. I don’t know how well he understood what I said but he did point up, look up, and say something that sounded along the lines of ‘sky’.
