Couple #9 - Two Soldiers and One Proposal

Zeolah and Alex are two marines who were stationed in Japan in 2004 when they met.
Slowly, during deployments and training exercises, these two service members warmed up to each other. One day, Zeolah became violently ill. Alex brought her miso soup and pudding beacuse he knew that it was the only food she could stomach. It was this sweet, simple action which convinced Zeolah that he was the man for her. Upon his return from a deployment to Korea, Alex fell to one knee and proposed.
The excited couple had a bittersweet ceremony before a justice of the peace in Okinawa. Zeolah cried that day not just because she was happy, but because she missed the presence of her mother, father, and other close family members. As we all know, there is nothing better than celebrating the milestone memory of a marriage with your closest family and friends. This is what Zeolah is hoping for, - the chance to celebrate her's and Alex's love for each other with their family.

  1. Zee and Alex really deserve this! they both serve their country and are such a wonderful young couple. they give so much to other, it was sad that they had to get married away from their family and friends.
