This public proposal has to go down as one of the cutest and most memorable in the history of public proposals.
Glenn Weiss, who was nominated at this year’s Emmy Awards for directing the 2018 Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, brought a crowd jam-packed with celebrities to its feet, and moved to tears.
After thanking his daughters and paying tribute to his mother who recently passed away, Glenn Weiss swooped in with the most unexpected and heart-warming line of the evening. “Mom always believed in looking for the sunshine in things, and she loved my girlfriend Jan,” he said. His girlfriend, Jan Svendsen, who was sitting in the audience, was already wiping away tears. Then, he added, “You wonder why I don't like to call you my girlfriend? Because I want to call you my wife.”
After a massive applause and a lot of cheering, Jan Svendsen makes her way to the stage to accept a ring which belonged to the director’s late mother.
