Josh Leo’s Vlog » Popping the Question

This video has been sitting in my FireAnt for a couple of weeks. I didn’t know if I could bear to watch it because I find any kind of public proposal intensely embarrassing and cringeworthy, but what with going through the same stuff myself with a wedding this summer I was intrigued to know if this was a moment you could videoblog well. And wow, you really can.

One of the guys in the comments makes the point that the focus is on the proposer, not the proposee (as it were), which makes it incredibly sweet and touching because Josh Leo starts off all composed and gets kind of flustered and overtalks it a bit, but it’s lovely because it seems so real. But the other great thing is that you don’t have to see his girlfriend’s surprise. Her reaction isn’t exploited at all but handled really delicately through intertitles.

The end of the video where you actually see the two together after the decision has been made is so incredibly sweet and touching. This could never be on tv but it’s a really special thing to watch.
