SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - Finding the proper balance between the military and marriage can be difficult, which is one reason why a husband and wife who serve at Camp Pendleton just won a dream honeymoon to Hawaii.

Christian and Kirsten Perry met in Afghanistan. Christian's a Marine, Kirsten a soldier. Somehow they fell in love in a war zone. 

"His first question was, 'Can I get your email?' Kirsten said. "It was actually kind of like a dare… it was like, I bet you can't get her number,"

Christian said. Christian proposed on Valentine's Day last year, and wasn't sure if Kirsten would say yes. "Imagine you're about to go on stage in front of 1,000 fans or something. She's the biggest fan I've ever had," Christian said. Kirsten accepted the offer and the bling.

In order to get stationed together at Camp Pendleton, they got married in a rush two months later. read more here
