A journalist jokingly proposed in a headline. A decade later, they're married
2021-10-02 00:00:00
Journalist Chloe Angyal wrote a piece in Feministing ten years ago titled "Marry me, Zach Wahls." She reported on a 19-year-old's passionate defense of his same-sex marriage household to the Iowa House of Representatives— a three-minute speech so eloquent and powerful that it went viral and landed him on Ellen.
What she didn't know is that a decade later, she would marry Zach Wahls. She also didn't know that Zach Wahls would go on to become an Iowa state lawmaker himself.
If a romantic comedy meant to capture the cultural moment of the past decade was to be made, a producer wouldn't need to look further than Wahls' and Angyal's hall-of-fame-level meet-cute. The Des Moines Register
