Proposals are always emotional, but this one is on another level. A man found the perfect way to honor both his love for his girlfriend and her late father in a moment that has the internet reaching for tissues.
The viral TikTok video begins innocently enough. The couple, Emily and her now-fiancé, sit on the couch watching a TV screen. Emily looks puzzled, clearly unsure of what’s happening. But as her late father’s voice fills the room, her confusion turns to shock—and then overwhelming emotion.

“Son, you’ve got my permission as much as I can give it to you in this short time I have left on this Earth,” her father says. “I know you love Emily, and I know you’ll take care of her. God bless you, and you have my blessing, son.”
It’s a moment so raw and poignant that you can’t help but feel the love in the room. As the recording plays, her boyfriend gets down on one knee, holding a ring. Emily doesn’t hesitate—she says yes. The emotions in the room are almost tangible.
What makes this moment even more heart-wrenching is that Emily’s father had passed away just days before. Her now-fiancé had asked for his blessing in his final days, knowing how much it meant to her.
“I know how important it was to you for me to get your father’s permission,” he told Emily, his voice cracking with emotion. “And I was able to get that just a few days ago.”
The comments section of the video quickly filled with heartfelt responses. One person wrote, “This is it. Hands down, forever and ever, the best proposal ever. Nothing tops this. Congrats!” Another added, “That got a tear in my eye—what a great man with true love in his heart. Congratulations to a beautiful couple.”
For others, the story hit close to home. “As someone who also lost her dad too soon,” one commenter said, “this is so beautiful and special.”
This proposal isn’t just a testament to love; it’s a celebration of the bond between family and the lengths we’ll go to honor those we hold dear. It’s safe to say Emily’s dad would be overjoyed to see the love and respect her fiancé has for her—and for him.
So, is this the most emotional proposal ever? Quite possibly. One thing’s for sure—it’s a moment none of us will forget anytime soon.
