<br /> <p>To celebrate Australia’s government legalising same-sex marriage on December 7, the country’s ambassador to France, Brendan Berne, marked the occasion by proposing to his partner, Thomas Marti, in Paris, France.</p><p>In Berne’s video, he first speaks on a balcony on the Australian embassy near the Eiffel Tower, describing his pride at seeing his county’s decision and said it was a “great day for my country … but also for me on a personal level,” Berne then went indoors and asked Marti to marry him, not without a few nerves.
