"With the indulgence of the Speaker, the person I have to thank most is my partner Ryan. You've had to tolerate more than most because you had to put up with me — trust me," said Wilson.
"This debate has been the soundtrack of our relationship. We both know this issue isn't the reason we got involved in politics — give us tax reform any day. But in my first speech, I defined out bond by the ring that sits on both of our left hands and they are the answer to the questions we cannot ask.
"So, there's only one thing left to do. Ryan Patrick Bolger, will you marry me?"
After noting Bolger's "resounding yes" in the Hansard, Australia's official parliamentary transcript, Deputy Speaker Rob Mitchell offered up a "well done, mate."
South Australian senator Sarah Hansen-Young was among a host of politicians, journalists and the public to congratulate Wilson on Twitter.

Australians voted overwhelmingly for legalising same-sex marriage in a postal survey on the matter, with 61.6 percent of those who voted ticking "Yes" for marriage equality.
After passing in the Senate on Nov. 29, the bill for marriage equality will be debated from Monday in the House of Representatives. Then, if both the House and the Senate pass the bill in the same form, it'll be off to the Governor-General for royal assent. Then, 28 days after royal assent, same-sex marriage will officially be legal in Australia.
