- his human partner and their child were present
A proposal rather than a ceremony, which is why it sits here. The best-documented case involving an existing human partner: his partner and their child were present when he asked. Follow-up reporting has him describing the relationship as having gone boring, the conversations self-limiting because he was the only one driving them. The record keeps the proposal; it does not assert that anything is ongoing.
