A three-tissue warning would have been nice.

Okay, a four-tissue alert - or five.

Or six or more.

Thanks for sharing.

But I'd like a heads-up when I'm going to need a roll of paper towels while watching a video.

I am lucky enough to be in a relationship where the love is always there, and has endured over the years.

But clips like this make me remember how it felt when love was new and first expressed, in ways that held the promise of that long-lasting endurance.




But a tissue alert still would have been nice.

I was talking about how wonderful it is to be reminded of the love that exists in this world, and how exhilarating it is to share in the joy that it brings to those who witness it.

I thank you for sharing a bit of that joy by way of your post.

... glad that I had my Kleenex box close by.

I'm going to keep this video at the top of my favorites ... when I feel low I'll tap the right keys and watch it again and maybe again!

Thank you OP for sharing this.

Growing up LDS, and going to school at Mormon schools in both Idaho and Utah, it was very common to see people ask people out or propose in very planned out over the top manners. I don't know how to explain it better - it's a Utah/Mormon thing. It's nice to see though, such great support from people of all ages and Home Depot!
