The couple who attracted national
attention with a homecoming kiss last year married in New York on
Friday.
A photo of Brandon Morgan leaping into
Dalan Wells' arms for a kiss as Morgan returned home from a six-month
deployment in Afghanistan received thousands of comments and likes
after it was posted on the Gay Marines Facebook page.
In June, the couple posted a video on
YouTube of Morgan's proposal.
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 immediately agrees and the two
share a hug and kiss.

Kyle Crawford posted photos of the couple as they exchanged vows
in front of family and friends. The ceremony was officiated by the
Rev. Dahn Gandell of St. John's Episcopal Church in Honeoye Falls,
New York. Wells' parents attend the church. After the ceremony,
Gandell hosted a luncheon for the wedding party at Next Door Bar and
Grill.
