TWENTYNINE PALMS, CA – The 1st Marine Tank Battalion threw a party to celebrate Lance Corporal Matt Blake’s marriage reaching an unprecedented six months.
“This is an inspiring story of true love overcoming all obstacles,” said Gunnery Sergeant Jason Watt, who holds the current record for sleeping with Blake’s wife three times since the couple married. “It’ll melt the coldest heart.”
Blake met his wife Sarah at The Cactus Room, an upscale restaurant in town. It was an entire week before they moved in together and Blake waited a record three weeks before proposing. The couple was engaged for two whole days before getting married at a civil ceremony in time for happy hour.
