Martel Thompson And Tony Hale Met At Church

Although Hale and Thompson work in the same industry, they met at Hale's bible study group for artists in New York, The Haven. The couple clicked right away, and their faith has been instrumental in their relationship.

One year after their first meeting, Hale proposed in an unusual manner that he later realized was quite "dark."

 Hale took Thompson to see the play "Stones In His Pockets" for their first date, but he was too anxious to pay attention. Hale eventually devised a romantic plan to pop the question.

He took Thompson to Ireland and hid the engagement ring in his pocket, a reference to the play's title. She said yes, and they married on May 24, 2003.

In the early 2010s, Hale saw "Stones In His Pockets" again and realized that the show was about violence and that the title referred to how the main character passed away.

Hale asked his wife if she thought his proposal was strange, and she replied, "I don't think so."
