Man surprises childhood sweetheart with music video proposal

Watch this man’s sweet proposal to his girlfriend of 17 years.

Childhood sweethearts, Sam Maccarone and Jessica Burzichelli, have been together since they were 10 years old.

After growing up together, attending the same high school and then graduating from different colleges, Sam, 27, and Jess, 26, moved back to the same city to be together again.

But since then, Jess has had one thing on her mind: marriage, and as it turns out, Sam did, too.

But, for a special relationship like theirs, no normal proposal would do.

That’s when Sam teamed up with his singer-songwriter cousin, Matty Mac, to make what could be considered as one of the sweetest proposals ever.

Pretending that his cousin had asked him and his girlfriend to take up a starring role in his new music video, Sam and Jess spent a couple of days filming around Chicago.

But little did Jess know that all the filming was building up to one very (very) big end scene.

In the middle of a crowded restaurant, with the singer playing soulfully in the background, Sam took the picture perfect opportunity to end their music video with a bang.

Getting down onto one knee in front of a teary Jess, Sam finally said those words Jess was longing to hear.

“We’ve been through so much over the years that’s gotten us to this perfect moment,” said the kneeling groom, “You’re the sweetest, sexiest, smartest person I know. And you’re even pretty funny sometimes. You motivate me to be the best person I can be, every day. I want to spend every day with you for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?”
