For most gay people born in the 20th century, the fairytale dream of being proposed to and living happily ever after was beyond the scope of probability.
Of course, reality rarely matches the dream, even in a post-marriage equality world — anyone who’s been in a serious relationship can tell you it’s not all daffodils and butterfly kisses.

The day that SCOTUS ruled on marriage equality my (then) partner and I were about an hour into discussing the logistics of getting a marriage license and whether we wanted a full-blown ceremony or a quick trip to the courthouse. It took us a bit to realize that while it was a foregone conclusion that of course we’d be getting married (we’d been “dating” for 10 years at this point) no one had actually proposed.
So I got on one knee and proposed, he said yes of course. And then I made him get on one knee and propose to me because I’ll be damned if I don’t get to have that experience too 🙂
