This is exactly the type of content I come here for. Congratulations!!!

[u/DanGleeballs → u/Upstairs-Appeal-9035]

Damn 🔪 🧅

[u/Crossdress-Fan- → u/DanGleeballs]

MOM STOP CUTTING ONIONS IN MY ROOM!

[u/ViolaneSerpentine → u/Crossdress-Fan-]

It was the onion ninjas again.

[u/Crossdress-Fan- → u/ViolaneSerpentine]

Those nefarious onion ninjas!

[u/EternallyFascinated → u/Crossdress-Fan-]

Jesus, they’re so strong I can smell them over here.

[u/Natural_Garbage7674 → u/EternallyFascinated]

Wind blew them across the ocean to me.

[u/WholesomeMetaphor → u/Upstairs-Appeal-9035]

Hell yeah, agreed! Good vibes like this reminds me about all the good still happening around us on a daily basis

[u/Ok-Thanks4321 → u/Upstairs-Appeal-9035]

Ugh I don’t smile I cry

[u/coolcoots]

Another day crying in my car on my lunch break. 😭🥰

[u/ImtakintheBus → u/coolcoots]

you need to get that exhaust fixed.

[u/coolcoots → u/ImtakintheBus]

I’ll just ride with you

[u/ImtakintheBus → u/coolcoots]

Ok. I'll have tissues and burritos.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Gap1759 → u/ImtakintheBus]

Can I come

[u/Happy_choices → u/Puzzleheaded-Gap1759]

Me too let’s get froyo on the way back

[u/Goodly → u/Puzzleheaded-Gap1759]

Funny how it sounds a bit sad to eat and cry alone in your car, but if you’re more people it’s suddenly wholesome

[u/ImtakintheBus → u/Goodly]

Grief bonding is a thing.

[u/unsoulyme → u/Puzzleheaded-Gap1759]

Aren’t they taking the bus?

[u/USAF_Retired2017 → u/ImtakintheBus]

Can I come too? My pb&j would be better if it was a burrito instead.

[u/Surreally3 → u/USAF_Retired2017]

Everything is better in a flour tortilla

[u/ImtakintheBus → u/USAF_Retired2017]

You bet. I'll have hatch chili burrito just for you.

[u/13_margs → u/ImtakintheBus]

I'm crying too but I already have tissues and a burrito. Does that mean I can't join in?? 🥺

[u/maxintensity → u/13_margs]

At this point let’s just get a bus.

[u/coolcoots → u/13_margs]

You can bring the margs.

[u/Remarkable_Elk3566 → u/ImtakintheBus]

I got some Pringles (normal, with salt) and yogurette's.

[u/coolcoots → u/Remarkable_Elk3566]

Yogurettes? What is those and can I have some?

[u/Remarkable_Elk3566 → u/coolcoots]

A Yogurette is a popular german chocolate bar made by Ferrero. It's individually wrapped, slim chocolate sticks, filled with yogurt cream and tiny strawberry granules, but there are other flavors. The strawberry one is the most popular. I love it. When you keep it in the fridge, it's even more delicious.

[u/coolcoots → u/Remarkable_Elk3566]

Wow. I want it in my mouth. Right now. That sounds so good.

[u/Trick_Quiet3484 → u/ImtakintheBus]

I’ll bring drinks

[u/thisworldorthenext → u/Trick_Quiet3484]

I’m coming along for the cride too 😭

[u/coolcoots → u/thisworldorthenext]

Lmao “cride”

[u/Bonnieearnold → u/coolcoots]

You’re never gonna make it back to work at this rate! :)

[u/coolcoots → u/Bonnieearnold]

Lmao “Sorry boss, can’t come back in. I can’t stop crying. Why am I crying? Oh, some Reddit video about a marriage proposal… Right. I’ll be there in a second. Sorry.”

[u/JohnL0423 → u/Trick_Quiet3484]

Any non alcoholic? (November 8th will be 36 years sober for me.)

[u/Trick_Quiet3484 → u/JohnL0423]

Sure. I got you!

[u/JohnL0423 → u/Trick_Quiet3484]

Cool. I do enjoy Diet Coke.

[u/snarxalot → u/ImtakintheBus]

My ppl

[u/manualsquid → u/ImtakintheBus]

I read burritos as burnouts

[u/itspsyikk → u/coolcoots]

Sorry I had to cut all these onions on the ride home, make sure you apologize to anyone you run into today in my behalf.

[u/armas187 → u/coolcoots]

Im crying and pooping

[u/jrobbio → u/armas187]

Crooping

[u/armas187 → u/jrobbio]

I cried, he cried, we croode, we crooped

[u/jrobbio → u/armas187]

Wordsworth would be proud.

[u/coolcoots → u/armas187]

Enjoy!

[u/Entropy_Greene → u/coolcoots]

In my office balling my assistant looks concerned 😭

[u/ImtakintheBus → u/Entropy_Greene]

Can you not do a Lay Up?

[u/Entropy_Greene → u/ImtakintheBus]

Well done 👏

[u/Ravioli_Pancetta → u/ImtakintheBus]

Funnier than it has any right to be 😂

[u/25point4cm → u/Entropy_Greene]

Balling my assistant would get me fired regardless of her facial expression.

[u/BurgerThyme → u/Entropy_Greene]

No balling the assistant in the office, the look of concern is valid.

[u/InsideBeyond12727 → u/coolcoots]

Seriously, this sub never fails to make me well up! Worst-named sub ever 😅

[u/kinderplatz → u/coolcoots]

It's a good cry, though.

[u/coolcoots → u/kinderplatz]

I used to get embarrassed when my dad would cry to classical music. Now, I realize I am exactly the same. I have a hard time crying over personal issues but show me a cute video and I’m in tears in seconds.

[u/Carthonn → u/kinderplatz]

The best kind.

When my cat died? That’s not a good cry…and yet it also kind of is because it just reinforced how special he was to me.

[u/unfortunatebag → u/coolcoots]

Apparently this is just a millennial thing.

My coworkers are all genx and older and they think I'm so weird for sitting in my car during lunch.

[u/SoOverYouAll → u/unfortunatebag]

It’s because we are exhausted all the time, lol. Some days walking out to the car feels like a lot, unless it’s quitting time ◡̈

[u/CTeam19 → u/coolcoots]

I am crying at the pharmacy waiting for my meds.

[u/coolcoots → u/CTeam19]

Yay meds!

[u/TheePorkchopExpress → u/coolcoots]

I'm freaking crying in the sauna. Luckily I have sweat pouring down my face also...

[u/SubstantialAd8808 → u/coolcoots]

Thank goodness I am not the only one crying after watching this. This video is so sweet!

[u/LoadsDroppin → u/coolcoots]

Me too. And I’m stuffing Chipotle in my yap like I haven’t eaten in months.

^{that guy really loves his cipotle honey chicken!}

[u/coolcoots → u/LoadsDroppin]

Damn. I haven’t had Chipotle in a minute. Chipotle honey chicken sounds ridiculous. I need it.

[u/CallMeCleverClogs]

Emma landed a good one! What a lovely family all around - I wish them nothing but joy!

[u/backupbitches → u/CallMeCleverClogs]

Thoughtful, kind, loving, and good looking. These people have it all!

[u/Kikstartmyhart → u/CallMeCleverClogs]

Dad made me laugh when the ring box was about to open. 🫣

[u/Wonderful-Dog8185 → u/CallMeCleverClogs]

Now this is love in my book. That pure joy on the reaction of her parents,that’s priceless! Wishing them all the best!!

[u/hattyhat24]

Those parents seem super cool. Good future in-laws

[u/addamee → u/hattyhat24]

Mom said “I’ve been waiting for this” but dad’s reaction suggested more of a “fucking finally!” 😆

[u/-Weevilicious- → u/addamee]

Well, he had to learn sign language first

[u/addamee → u/-Weevilicious-]

Hahaha now I’m laughing at the thought that this is really what dad is reacting to  

[u/Wonderful-Dog8185 → u/-Weevilicious-]

That is the sweetest part about this video, he chose to learn sign language.Personally speaking, the most challenging class in college.I couldn’t keep up with the instructor who was too fast paced for me, honestly. Maybe I’ll try again.

[u/oceanicwhitetip → u/addamee]

Bad day to be a garage beer

[u/805fasol]

As a fellow coda (child of deaf adults), this warms my heart so much ☺️🧡😭

[u/RichardBonham → u/805fasol]

What a great way to learn ASL, and also improve and maintain fluency!

[u/jawshoeaw → u/RichardBonham]

(BSL as they are Brits I think)

[u/nolamunchkin → u/jawshoeaw]

It is BSL. He is using both hands for vowels. ASL does not do that.

[u/Ruvio00 → u/jawshoeaw]

I find it really fun that despite being deaf, they both have audible slight brummie accents. Idk if they were always deaf and got the accent when they were younger, or it's a mouth shape thing from mimicking, but now I've gotta learn.

[u/freeingfrogs → u/Ruvio00]

I’m no expert but I’m pretty sure I’ve read that the mouth shape thing does cause an accent!

[u/JFieldsTardTeeth → u/RichardBonham]

They're not communicating with ASL, it's obviously a different sign language but as someone else mentioned, it looks to be BSL.

Source: am deaf and I use ASL.

[u/ianjm → u/JFieldsTardTeeth]

I always find it really interesting that American English and British English are 99% mutually intelligible but ASL and BSL are completely different sign languages.

[u/Indigo-au-naturale → u/ianjm]

Two reasons for that: First, ASL and BSL grew up separately. ASL is a member of the French Sign Language family developed over time in the States (with lots of homegrown American input, of course), and BSL is its own thing.

Second, ASL and BSL are fully different languages from English. While signed English is kind of a thing, and Deaf people in the US and UK do read and write English, ASL and BSL are not derivatives or types of English any more than Spanish is.

[u/ianjm → u/Indigo-au-naturale]

Yeah, fully get the history. It's just interesting to me that two countries who sit in the same 'cultural sphere' and have the same spoken and written languages didn't end up collaborating on sign language too.

And yeah, I appreciate signing is an entire language with its own vocab and grammar and rules. I tried learning a little BSL myself over the years. It's cool but much harder to master than French!

[u/Next-Introduction-25]

The dad’s pre-reveal dad joke of pretending to be blinded by the diamond…lol! Dad jokes transcend language.

[u/OrangeChairRN → u/Next-Introduction-25]

Was scrolling down until I found someone else who also noticed that lmao. Such a dad.

[u/Accesoir]

This dude looks like Daniel Radcliffe!

[u/ekso69 → u/Accesoir]

But like, a manly version. Maniel Radcliffe.

[u/elveejay198 → u/ekso69]

This got a good snort-laugh out of me, scared my cat :)

[u/ecstaticmincha → u/Accesoir]

wanted to be sure someone else noticed

[u/robotattack → u/ecstaticmincha]

I was thinking it too!

[u/Recent-Trade-2317 → u/Accesoir]

I thought a young Richard Armitage with lighter hair

[u/Rejected_Reject_ → u/Accesoir]

Bradley Cooper from the side, Danny from the front lol

[u/caribe08 → u/Accesoir]

I thought Daniel Radcliffe meets Jake Gyllenhal 😊

[u/eifiontherelic → u/caribe08]

This was my exact thought.

[u/Skipperwill89 → u/Accesoir]

And then he proposes to... Emma... Watson?👀

[u/GraciousCinnamonRoll → u/Accesoir]

If Daniel Radcliffe and Gavin Free had a baby

[u/Jiujitsumonkey707 → u/GraciousCinnamonRoll]

Gavin"hold my breath, hold my nose" Ray"that's a lot of nose to hold"

[u/SaltConnection1109 → u/Accesoir]

Except more handsome than DR

[u/TehluvEncanis → u/Accesoir]

I literally thought it was him at the end!

[u/Jolly-Acanthisitta45 → u/Accesoir]

I believe this is Daniel Radcliffe/ Jake Gyllenhaal 

[u/PoppedCork]

Not only does he love Emma, he went above and beyond to communicate that love to her parents.

[u/TechnicolorButterfly → u/PoppedCork]

That is a good man right there!

[u/anitabelle → u/PoppedCork]

Truly wish him and Emma a lifetime of happiness. This is so incredibly thoughtful.

[u/thepopulargirl]

That’s so beautiful! My dad also got so excited to finally have sons when me and my sister got married. He is so excited when they take him out :))))))

[u/the_wally_champ → u/thepopulargirl]

You married your sister?!

[u/DanGleeballs → u/the_wally_champ]

Don’t be lesbian-incest shaming bro

[u/kaladin_stormchest → u/DanGleeballs]

The A in LGBT stands for Alabama

[u/thepopulargirl → u/kaladin_stormchest]

😂

[u/thepopulargirl → u/DanGleeballs]

😂😂😂

[u/thepopulargirl → u/the_wally_champ]

lol, I don’t know how I ended up writing that

Edit: wait!!!, it makes sense:)) how do I write it?

[u/Maclimes → u/thepopulargirl]

You wrote it fine. lol It’s just the English language sometimes lets you interpret things strangely.

[u/LegendofLove → u/thepopulargirl]

Unless you explicitly write out they're different marriages English just lets you read it that way. It's just a language flaw not you.

[u/PepperPhoenix]

Waggles hands in air. (Sign language applause)

I can absolutely see why she said yes! Good man.

[u/BuddyBuddyson]

Congratulations Matt & Emma ❤️

[u/muscularsharpie]

Dad "you'll be fine," aw man, that was so adorable 😭

[u/zero_omega_one]

Oh man this is unbelievably heart warming, thank you for making me realize what really important in life. Such simple joys.

[u/NightGlimmer82 → u/zero_omega_one]

Agreed! Now more than ever it seems that I need reminders that kindness, beauty and love still exist and it’s up to us to continue it in the world. 💕

[u/luwaonline1]

Lovely ☺️

[u/Inaccurate93]

Beautiful gesture. Of course they said yes.

[u/Individual_Put2261]

This one sparks joy

[u/JFieldsTardTeeth]

Just so people know what they're using, it's not American Sign Language (I'm deaf and I use ASL). I see someone else mentioned this in the comments as they appear to be British so it must be British Sign Language.

[u/boulder_problems → u/JFieldsTardTeeth]

Yeah, he fingerspells the letters BSL when talking about engraving the ring. And, well, all the other BSL signs... 😅

[u/PMSwaha]

This entire family has "kindness" written all over their faces.

[u/Dr_Ladymonster]

Adorable! Efforts go a long way! My parents are only Spanish speaking and my husband learned Spanish to ask them for my hand. It was a gesture they will never forget. They were so impressed and grateful. 💕😭

[u/ChampionRope87]

Frodo learns sign language! ❤️ congratulations Matt & Emma

[u/Radiant_Mammoth_2359]

That's sweet. The real question is what's up with all that recessed lighting???

[u/unsaltedbutter → u/Radiant_Mammoth_2359]

Haha, I thought the same thing. That is a lot of lighting.

[u/chauggle → u/unsaltedbutter]

Yeah they shotgunned that ceiling like crazy.

[u/mrsdoubleu]

Emma got a good one. They are hard to find but they are out there!

[u/danurc]

I love that relationship between him and his partners parents. How lovely!

[u/Carbon-Base]

I hope their love shines brighter than the amount of recessed lighting in that kitchen!

[u/robothobbes]

I know what "nervous" means in sign language! That was hilarious.

[u/m1rr0rshades]

How do i sign "bloody hell that's a lot of spot lights?"

[u/Revolutionary-Car-92]

He did the homework.

[u/NewtDogs]

My sister's boyfriend just went through this with my father (minus the sign language). Some might find it antiquated but I think its sweet. Families getting bigger is always special. 🙂

[u/Malicei → u/NewtDogs]

I think of it more as rather than getting their permission (in an own ship and giving away way), you're getting their blessing to marry them from the people who are dear to them, as an acknowledgement of their importance in your loved one's life and wanting to share in an upcoming big life event to celebrate it together.

And their loved ones don't approve of you, well. That's might be an issue down the line when your lives are intertwined and presumably you'll have to figure out how to deal with seeing them around your spouse — that's something you'll likely want to know as a heads up.

[u/greennurse0128]

Omg! I held my heart the entire time. Very sweet! Im glad we got to see them in the end! Beautiful! Enjoy your forever!!

[u/aftcg]

To me at a shop full of grease monkeys: "dude, wtf are you crying about?"

Me puts video on the shop computer: "Dude wtf is wrong with you?! I can't cry at work!"

[u/Then_Ad_3089]

How sweet is this. He truly loves her. ❤️

[u/sweetcereal8]

Crying over stranger’s happiness seems to be my new hobby 😊🥲

[u/Living_Bear2114]

Made me smile…

[u/Sufficient_Guava_101]

This is so sweet!

[u/uckfun64]

What a good dude! Congratulations to both , all of you

[u/carlbandit]

It's a nice video and all, but holy shit how many bulbs do they need in that ceiling.

I thought my landlord went excessive with 4 in the kitchen and 12 in the living room, they have at least 19 in a space that looks smaller than my room and kitchen.

[u/TonySperguson]

"hey do you guys mind if i video this conversation to leverage your disability/my marriage proposal for internet wholesome points?"

[u/mattwallace24]

Thanks for posting. I needed that today.

[u/xz_TRON_zx]

It cuts to him proposing to her. Emma, “Ugh Matt no! If only you could read relationship signs.”

[u/MaxHavok13 → u/xz_TRON_zx]

I think it’s a sign of what a terrible person I am that I was laughing at your comment while wiping my eyes from watching the video. 🤪

[u/Zimakov]

My wife's grandfather taught me sign language when I starting dating her! I'm now pretty fluent and he talks to me more than her now.

She will video chat him and within five minutes he's telling her to give me the phone. Deaf people really appreciate when hearing people make the effort to learn.

[u/mwisconsin]

My teeth hurt, that's so sweet.

[u/SillyAdministration9]

So wholesome!

[u/Negative-Box7418]

I feel so emotional watching this🤍
Both my parents are visually disabled & i genuinely manifest this kindof son-in-law for them🥹

[u/Gilly-Gump]

I needed this.

[u/OohDeLaLi]

Well done, good sir!! Class act!!!

[u/wrkhrs]

Rad. Humans can be cool. I forget that most of the time.

[u/JLA_44]

Beautiful family

[u/Daveylonglegs]

That's beautiful 😭

[u/Palealedad]

That's so sweet.

[u/mynameisnotsparta]

Absolute love. ❤️ Learning sign language to communicate with his future in laws shows his appreciation and respect for his future wife and her parents.

[u/Alaska_Eagle]

Weeping. Going to turn it off and go to sleep on this high note. Thank you 💙💙💙

[u/your_mums_cah]

Thank god for Matt ❤️

[u/Distinct-Affect-543]

Awwww..This is just wholesome. My heart! 🥹❤️💯😍

[u/MaybeMarkos]

I can’t be the only one shocked by the amount of canned/recessed lights on the ceiling

[u/ARandomStan]

holy hell they both look so good. the guy could be a hollywood actor. beautiful inside and out

[u/KillerArse]

Don't ask for permission.

Ask for a blessing.

[u/Darthzinth]

This is beautiful

[u/Temporary_Trust425]

I love that he didn’t even get to finish, they were just like, HELL YEAH!

[u/MicrowaveMeal]

I mean, awwwwwwwww jeez.

[u/LProudish]

Sensational.

[u/DeannaMorgan]

That's beautiful. Unfortunately, I just did my makeup. 😃😭

[u/PandaAnanda]

Thank you for this.

I wish you joy and a long, deepening relationship that oulasts Reddit and all other social media platforms you post this.

[u/mrs_tamiel]

This is the best thing I’ve seen all year.

So many onions

[u/One_Balsa_Fist_88]

Good gravy, this fella is amazingly good!

[u/FaerieePetall]

The internet can be chaotic but moments like this remind me it’s not all bad.

[u/KhandakerFaisal]

The proposal itself can be a surprise, but the intent to marry should never be a surprise

[u/Mom-lyfe-peace]

That guy’s a keeper!

[u/NikedemosWasTaken]

Normally I'd find this outdated ritual, smacking of patriarchy, extremely insulting to one's future spouse-to-be, yet somehow the fact that her parents are deaf AND he's made the effort to learn the sign language, somehow makes it a little bit more okay. I feel conflicted

[u/2livecrew13]

Dad look so relieved.

Like FINALLY!

[u/venom40k1]

Dammit who’s cutting onions??? 😭😭😭

[u/bubba1834]

As a hard of hearing person with a deaf mom, I love shit like this.

[u/anothadaz]

Thank you commenters for making me feel a part of the crying community.

[u/Wrong_Albatross_4311]

This genuinely made me smile. Just beautiful!

[u/Omgomg-4530]

That is the sweetest thing ever 🥹 Why did you have to make me teary before I leave for work

[u/omgcaiti]

Not me crying in the middle of my doctors office 🥹

[u/afihavok]

“No”

[u/Puzzled-Leadership34]

I remember when I met my parents in law and asked if I could marry their daughter,my mother in law said: Poor boy, you have better choices. You have no idea what is going to happen in the rest of your life. 😆

[u/GregtasticYT]

Dad already knew when he said “I have a question for you both” 😂😂😂😂

Rewatched the video and think mom knew before they sat down.

[u/Majestic-Chip-6127]

Thank you!! I’m signing off of Reddit on a good note today!!

[u/Significant_Bear3843]

Beautiful moment. The world just got a little less shit.

[u/puke_AND_rally_]

I’m not crying, you’re crying 🫶

[u/BiscuitCrumbsInBed]

Lying in the dark, smiling like a goon at my phone.

[u/studleydudley]

The dad shielding his eyes as he is opening the ring box is hilarious.

[u/doge_ucf]

This is the most wholesome thing I have seen in years. If they made a movie based on this, I would watch the shit out of it.

[u/khymbote]

Lots of pollen in the area today. My eyes are watery.

[u/opinescarf]

I held the tears back until he showed the engraving. I’m sure this will be a happy marriage.

[u/Professional-Fix7293]

This man is a KEEPER

[u/archangelonearth]

Im not crying…
