Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles So a couple of weeks ago on Thursday, December 29th, 2016, I proposed to Jenn. Jenn is the most incredible person I've ever met in my life Basically since the day I met her I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her As this was only gonna happen once in my life, I had to get it right. So on Christmas Day I'm surprised Jenn to a 2 night staycation at our favorite hotel Terranea Resort. I wanted the first day to be all about settling in and relaxing and then the second day is where I take her to a nice lunch and then propose to her in the room afterwards. I wanted to document as much as this experience as I could because I wanted it to be something that we could both look back on and I wanted to share this with my friends, family, and of course you guys So please join me on this journey where I will show you exactly how I proposed to Jenn. - Hey guys! - Hey guys! We are off to Terranea Resort Me and Jenn are having a romantic couple of nights. We stayed here maybe... 5 months ago? - Yeah! We absolutely loved it! So this is gonna be nice and relaxing and it's dog friendly which is very important. So Cheeki can have fun! Yeah it's amazing how I remember after... It's only been 5 months. We swear like it's been so long! Well for me, it's a long time. So let me take you back a bit. Me and Jenn have both worked with our good friend, Vu, from LR Creative. He's a great videographer and once I told him what I wanted to do he was more than happy to be on board. So I told Jenn we have the room from the 28th and 29th of December but what she didn't know is I actually booked it from the 27th So me and Vu went down that morning and our plan was to get everything set up Know what cameras go where, where I'm proposing, where she's going to watch the video and I also wanted to film an outro for the memory video of me wearing the same thing I'll be wearing on the actual day just to kinda confuse her and throw her off a little bit . So me and Vu had a lot of work to do. Follow me and then we'll speak to them. - Okay. Cool! Sounds good. Amazing! Let's do this! Any kind of Instagram Story or Snapchat today make sure it's.... Yeah, I realized that we have to be very careful. If I post anything it's gotta be staged where it's like, "Oh, I'm shooting with Ben, but not for what you think it is." Even the outfit I'm gonna wear when I propose Even getting that out of the house was so hard this morning I had to wait until Jenn went into the shower She'd be like, "Why... you're just going to work, but you've got this smart shirt and jacket?" How'd your parents handle it when you informed them? They were so excited. Mum has been saying for ages like, "When are you gonna marry her?" because she knows that I never really spoke to her about girls and relationships and stuff but the second I met Jenn I was like, "I really like this girl..." and she's like, "What? We're having this conversations?" and she was stoked. So I'm just messaging Hilary. Hilary is the girl that's helping arrange everything here. She's been amazing. She helped sort the rooms out, the restaurant, and now she's coming to meet us to help plan where we want to shoot the footage afterwards, going to the restaurant to try and put the camera down and even helping with the flowers and putting down the petals in the room So she is awesome and I haven't even met her yet. If you want I can walk you guys down after and we can check it out and talk about whatever else. So I'm gonna propose to the room after lunch so I wanted to capture us having lunch just to kinda lead up to the moment. Just plant the camera. It can even be where these bushes are. The camera I'm gonna be using when I film over there is gonna be the GH4. Teresa is gonna be moving with the Mark 3 and the 7200 the whole time. So she's always gonna be with that. So thanks to the amazing Vu, Hilary, and all the staff at Terranea I was feeling ready. We got everything prepared down to the T and we even had our friend Teresa come the next day to help film as well so we felt great! The night before I told Jenn that while I was "working" with Vu that day, He wanted me to learn this new editing software and that I should get some content over the next couple of days Y'know something to work on. Jenn believed it. She didn't get suspicious in any way. She thought it was a great idea so that way I could document some of the trip as well. The next morning, me and Jenn - - Sorry, I didn't understand the question. Next morning, me, Jenn and Cheeki were off for what would be an unforgettable trip. Wow! I remember this... Enjoying your champagne? Oh yeah! - It's way too hot for a beanie and a jacket, isn't it? Yeah, it's like 80 degrees right now. Trying to find our bungalow right now We are all far too warm Cheeki included with her jumper. Wow! Ohh my god! I can't believe it. It's so nice. Yeah! This is much bigger than I thought it'd be. - Yeah! This is insane! There's a kitchen! You can cook here! Look there's weights here! This is our little home. We've got to get the fireplace going. It'll be so nice there with the firepit and we can have a nice glass of wine or something Jenn is outside working She has no idea that she'll be sitting there tomorrow watching the video and I'll be here about to propose! So it is Thursday morning (the big day!) Me and Jenn are about to have a lovely breakfast. We are very excited about this. This is probably our most exciting part of the day, isn't it? - Eating. Oh yeah, breakfast! Especially at a hotel. In room dining is a must. What is it, Thursday today? Yeah. Thursday. So we've got a nice day planned. Or is today Friday? - No, it's Thursday. We're gonna have a little relax and have some breakfast and then go have a nice lunch and then we can have a little walk around Yeah, it's so nice! So it is Thursday morning. Today is the big day. I can't believe it. Today I'm about to become the luckiest man in the world If she says yes! We just had breakfast. She still does not suspect a thing. We were talking about what we wanted to do today, do some hikes, things like that. Little does she know... Vu and Teresa are about to arrive, I think They're meeting with Hilary in a bit to go over all their plans and stuff. I have to be careful because Jenn is in the room over there. So now I'm just gonna help Jenn film a bit and then just get everything ready. I've got the camera set up. I've pretty much done everything I can on my side Now I just have to make sure everyone's in place and that there's no problems But I feel good. I feel so excited. I'm gonna pick up Teresa right now and we're gonna head to the resort. And I'm gonna show Teresa where her shooting spots are She's got three major places to shoot from and then I gotta show her paths to take to avoid Ben and Jenn as they're walking So Ben and Jenn start eating at 1PM We'll have a GoPro set up at the restaurarant I'm gonna do some camera shots and then Teresa is gonna head back at 1 - 1:10 - 1:15 Ben is texting us right now It's funny because it's actually really warm over at the resort and Ben is gonna wear this really nice coat and Jenn is gonna be like, "Why the hell are you wearing this coat?" So he's just gonna play it cool. So this is where it all kicks off All I can do this is keep my cool and hope Jenn doesn't see Vu and Teresa in the bushes. Oh shit! I don't know if you can see Ben and Jenn just went for a walk and I'm showing Teresa where she'll be taking her second shot but Ben and Jenn actually came out for their walk, so we had to run and hide because they could've seen us. We're going to Catalina right now and set up the GoPro and I'm sweating. We're about to go for a nice lunch at Catalina Kitchen now Oh really? Next to Boshi? - Bashi So it's a lovely day. I might regret wearing this jacket. - Yeah, I think you will. We'll see. So Ben and Jenn are about to get seated at the cafe for lunch. I'm hiding behind a set of stairs with my camera gear here and I'm gonna be shooting right over that ledge. Here's to an amazing marriage and life together. and we're glad we can be here to record it. We'll see you in a little bit. Good luck! Alright! Here we go! Moment of truth. On March 13, 2014, I met the girl I would want to spend the rest of my life with. With the odds strongly against us living 5,000 miles apart we knew this was something worth fighting for So we talked, we Skyped, we sent videos. We just felt so comfortable in each other's company. You just fell asleep. So we decided we had to make this work. I need to see you. And then you came to London. And that feeling when I'm waiting for you at the airport knowing that soon I'll have you back in my arms a moment I've imagined a million times in my head. This was one of the best days of my life you meeting and getting on so well with my friends. You made me see London in a whole new way. You made me laugh more than I ever have before. We got to experience our obsession with food together. And then it would just be a countdown until I see you again. We'd take a romantic trip to Napa Film our first video together. One roll or two? You came to see me play and convince me to go on a ride after a few too many drinks. Nothing else matters when I'm with you. You make me a happier person and a better person. I'd even get sunburnt at the beach for you, which did last about two weeks. We went to Disneyland. and took our first flight together on our one year anniversary. We hiked of course. I love each and every moment with you. The birthdays The not-so-manly night in's Just being silly with you We'd spend Christmas in London and Valentine's Day in Palm Springs Got a Bloody Mary. It's a good day! It's a very good day. Valentine's Day and I'm the luckiest man in the world to be with this one. This has been the best Valentine's Day ever. - Ever! I'd show you where I grew up and introduce to you, Digestive biscuits. We went on a camping trip we'd never forget. You took me to my first Coachella where we danced pretty much the whole time. You have no idea how incredible you are How sweet you are How kind you are How brave you are You've given me a life here I can never even dream of We get to watch our angel grow from dressing her up to making friends I want to make memories with you for life. and take unforgettable trips with our amazing friends Every day with you is an adventure and I never want this journey to stop. So Jenn, if you could please turn to your right and enter the bedroom where I'll be waiting to ask you the most important question of my life.
