During a church service at their local Methodist Church, Trevor
Harper, 36, proposed to boyfriend, Davis Covin, 30. He went on bended
knees and popped the question. Davis said yes as they received astanding
ovation from the church members. Trevor and Davis, who both live in
Austin, Texas started dating in 2006.

They’ve been active members of the First United Methodist Church of
Austin since 2013. Harper began planning the proposal a few months ago
with the help of his pastor, Reverend John Wright. He said they thought
it was an especially good idea because although Mr Harper and Mr Covin
would love to get married in their church, they aren’t allowed.
The United Methodist Church forbids same-s*x ceremonies from being
conducted in Methodist churches or by Methodist ministers so Rev Wright
believed the proposal would be an awesome way to honor their
relationship. The lovers hope that when they do eventually get married
in 2016, they will be permitted to do so in their church….. may God
bless their union in advance. I kno my notifications won’t rest wt
numerous amens now. *sighs*…..
