- This photo is of my partner and I while we were on a black sand beach in Iceland. We recently got engaged in a more traditional way with rings and an engagement party. This trip was an additional celebration of our engagement. At sunset on the beach, I asked her to marry me again with the most beautiful pebble I could find. For penguins offering pebbles represents lifelong courtship. Asking her this way felt like a reminder that queer people have always created our own love and lifelong partnerships, regardless of laws. Our pebble represents life and sunsets together. See all items with this value
