Here’s a wonderfully tear-jerking story for your Monday! Ellen DeGeneres made one lucky lesbian military couple’s dreams come true on her talk show today, making both their wedding and a kick-ass honeymoon happen for them.
The adorable couple, active duty Air Force member Stephanie and former Marine Tracy (not sure of the spelling since it’s not listed anywhere), told Ellen that they fell madly in love after meeting in a bar (yep, they’re lesbians) and that they’ve been working extra hard to save up for their big wedding.
The couple originally won $1,000 from the app Viggle, which allows people to check in to TV shows for rewards, but Ellen, who is notorious for sweetening the pot, handed over oodles more cash and a dream honeymoon to the happy couple.
Check out their reaction to the surprise below.
