In late [[2558]], after reuniting [[Alpha-Nine]] to negotiate with the [[United Rebel Front]] on [[Cassidy III]], the two discussed their relationship and the possibility of getting married. Though Buck had proposed in the past at least a couple of times, both had agreed that it was a bad idea with their jobs and the dangers that came with them. When Buck thought he was going to fall to his death, he admitted regret for not marrying Dare when he had the chance before being saved by his teammates when Dare overrode Buck's orders to leave him behind.<ref>'''[[Halo: Bad Blood]]'''</ref> After returning to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, Dare proposed to Buck in the form of a dare when she realized that he would never propose first. They were subsequently married by [[Roland]] in a bar on the ''Infinity'' moments after Dare proposed, witnessed by both Fireteam Osiris and Alpha-Nine.<ref name="BB328" /> | |||
