He's Been Head Over Heels For Her Since He Was 10 — Watch His Adorable Proposal
You've watched the movie where he falls in love with her in elementary school, and then he pursues her relentlessly for the remainder of his youth until she caves and falls into his arms 15 years later, weeping. OK, that's a little dramatic, but the same basic storyline happened in real life for Jessica and Sam, two lovebirds who fell for each other in fifth grade in Gibbstown, NJ. We're awww-ing so hard right now.
How He Asked describes the details: Sam's cousin Matty is a music writer and producer, and Sam and Jessica always supported him by watching him play at bars or appearing as extras in his music videos. Matty asked Sam and Jessica to be the featured couple in his latest video, and they happily obliged. Little did Jessica know that Sam had the whole thing planned out:
The scene was similar to the others we had filmed earlier in the day — until Matty started playing the song. The entire day I had been told that the single was called "Under the Stars," but when Matty started playing, I realized it was a completely different song. I still didn't really know what was happening until he sang the last line of the song — "I've been hoping that you'll marry me someday."
Ugh. Can we come to the wedding?!
