Let’s congratulate U.S. Marine Corps captain Matthew Phelps. He proposed to his partner Ben Schlock in the White House this past weekend!

Phelps wrote: “”Such a special night surrounded by wonderful people in an amazing place, and the best is still yet to come with Ben Schock. Thanks for all the wonderful greetings and messages, and thanks to Barack Obama and Michelle Obama for lending us your home for the occasion!”

That’s pretty frickin’ cool. Haters gonna hate, but popping the question in the very seat of our government is ballsy. Although, President Obama is down with gay people tying the knot so he might have supplied the champagne toast after this.

  3. My partner and I sent Obama’s a wedding invite right after he stated his support. He sent us a congrats letter on White House stationary. It was very cool. We’ve come a long way…….

  4. The pants and shoes of the one being proposed to should not be attire to be worn inside the White House. Nonetheless what a great gesture!
