Hey everyone, so we're doing a phone video today -- probably much worse audio quality
and video quality, sorry about that.
I just wanna make a video really quick because yesterday, someone proposed to me!
[Fiona off-screen] I love how you're just starting this while I'm still trying to like
put some mascara on so I look a little human.
- I mean, I don't have any makeup on.
I'm a mess.
I like just woke up.
- You're beautiful!
- *You're* beautiful!
Anyways, obviously it's Fiona.
She's right off-screen.
[Laughter] I was like, "Someone proposed to me."
- "Someone proposed!"
[Laughter] I wonder who!
- "I wonder who it could be!"
- I'm on my chair.
Maybe, let me -- sit on my lap.
I'll sit on your chair -- oh shit, I moved the mirror.
- Mmm, is this -- is this how we're gonna do it?
- You're not meant to lean that far back!
- I'm out of the screen right now.
- Ohhh, hahaha.
- Anyways, yeah, this isn't clickbait, um, we're actually engaged.
And I'm really excited.
- Yeah!
- Oh, I don't have the ring on cause I just woke up.
- What!
[Laughter] You got it yesterday!
- I wasn't wearing it sleeping!
- She hasn't -- like she's not a jewelry gal.
Oh my god, she's so much taller than me.
How do I get this up -- She's not a jewelry gal, so it took a lot of convincing to like
make her wear a ring full stop.
- So yes, this is my ring.
I am be-troth-ed.
- You are be-troth-ed!
That's my favorite thing, everyone's like, "We call each other fiance."
I'm like no, but she will be my be-troth-ed.
- I'm still gonna call you my girlfriend.
Fiance's just a weird word.
- Yeah.
Do you wanna tell them how it happened, or?
- I do, can I sit back in my chair normally to do that?
- Oh, so I'm not in this --
- You're not in this part [Laughing]
- So I propose to you, and then you're like, you're done.
- No, I'm like, I want you to be in the beginning of the video so everyone can see your beautiful
face, but then this is not a comfortable way for me to sit, so I would like to do the rest
of the video by myself.
- Wowww.
Also, FYI, cause I was the one doing the proposing, I was filming a little bit of my scheming
behind the scenes, so I'll be doing a video later when I have better makeup on.
- So you can watch Fiona's video later for more details and her side of the story.
For now, I will just tell you mine.
- Sounds good!
[Kissing sound] I love you!
My be-troth-ed!
- I love you too!
[Laughter]
- Fair thee well.
- I love you!
- I love you too!
- I'm excited to spend my life with you.
- Gay!
[Kissing sound] Ahh, you're so precious.
- That's you!
Okay, so here's the deal.
So, she completely surprised me.
I was really confident that she wasn't going to be able to surprise me.
Cause I was like, "Oh, I'll pick up on it, I'll know when she's like planning the thing
and taking us out to a nice place and all of that."
But she had planted all these little things that I thought were true, because I'm a trusting person.
But it turns out, they were lies!
So like, she has a friend who I knew was gonna help her with the engagement, but she told
me that he was out of town, so in my head, I was like, "Oh, he's out of town, it won't
happen during this time period."
And then, I feel like there were several other lies as well, but the main one was that she
told me she had like a job interview and that she wanted to take photos for her website
afterwards, so I needed to go meet her at this park after she was done with her interview,
and we'd take some photos.
And so I was like, "Okay, I can do that."
And it seemed like a very normal Fiona thing.
Like nothing about this seemed out of the ordinary.
And all of the hints I had said that it wasn't going to be happening because like these things
weren't lined up.
But then we get there and there's like a huge tree, and she had set up stuff behind the
true and I couldn't see it.
And so as we walk around -- oh yeah, for days before this, she'd been going like, "Will...
you..?" like jokingly like she was going to propose.
But it was always a joke, and she was just like doing it in a funny tone.
And so as we walk past the tree, she does that again, and I was like, "Fiona come on,
I know you're not proposing right now."
And then she like shows me the area behind the tree, and I see that there's a little
blanket set up and some little fake flowers and champagne glasses and her friend is filming,
and I was like, "Oh shit, it's actually happening right now."
And it was so cute, and I was like, "Oh god, she actually got me.
Oh my god, I'm not ready for this."
And so we like walked down to the little area, and she gave a cute little speech.
She told me afterwards that she like blacked out for it.
It was so precious, she was like shaking, and she gave this like really sweet speech
about how much she loves me and wants to marry me and stuff.
And yeah, then she got down on one knee and took out the ring and did a little proposal,
it was so cute!
And it actually -- it fits really well.
I was worried about it because I have weird boney hands.
But I actually really like it.
And it's like comfy and fits well.
And like Fiona said earlier, I'm not much of a jewelry person -- like, I don't generally
like the feeling of rings.
But I like it a lot.
And I feel like people are gonna comment on this, but I have it on my right hand just
cause it's more comfortable for me.
There's no law that says you have to wear it on the left hand, so I'm gonna put it on
my right hand.
My left hand is weirdly boney and it's just hard to get it over the knuckle, and like
it rubs against my other fingers the wrong way, and I don't know, I'm just more comfortable
with it on my right hand.
So, that's what happened.
I thought it was really cute and sweet, and it was such a pretty area, and it was such
a beautiful day.
And then we just got to chill there and drink sparkling apple cider.
Because I don't drink, so there wasn't like actual champagne, there was just like fancy
sparkling apple cider, and it was really cute and nice, and she actually really surprised me.
As far as wedding stuff, uh, we'll let you know in the future at some point.
But until then, we are: be-troth-ed.
And obviously because we're gays, we like had a lot of thinking and talking and planning
about this before.
Like, this wasn't a total surprise, I wasn't like, "Oh my god Fiona, we've never talked
about marriage before."
I mean, we've been together for like three years now, we've talked about our future together,
and like, we both know that this is what we want.
But even with that, it was really sweet and nice and still caught me off-guard somehow.
And I know it's all cheesy and romantic stuff, but I really like it.
So that's basically everything.
Me and Fiona are engaged now.
Oh my god!
And yeah, sorry for the filming setup today, I'm sure the audio quality is not as great,
but I didn't wanna make this like a whole video thing, you know?
It's just like: That happened yesterday, and it was really nice and lovely, and I wanted
to tell you all about it really quickly, so I figured I'd just do like a quick little
phone video.
Because our engagement is for us, it's not for the internet, you know.
But obviously, I do want you all to know about it, so here I am.
I'll put some pictures up here on the screen.
You can also go to like my Instagram or Twitter to see some of them.
Because obviously, Fiona had her friend use like a really fancy camera to take some really
nice photos of us.
So we've got nice fancy photos.
Because obviously that's what Fiona would do, she's so into photography and stuff.
But yeah, sorry, this doesn't have like the video of Fiona proposing and all of that because
we didn't want it to be all like YouTube stuff, we wanted it to be just for us, which I really like.
But also, I don't see any harm in just like talking about it in a little video, you know.
Because I want you all to be able to share in this lovely queer love we have.
So, I think that's about all I have for you.
I'm gonna put this video out pretty soon after it happened, but Fiona's pretty busy so she
might do another video about it a few days from now, uh, so I'll link her channel in
the description, and you can go follow that if you want to see a more detailed video about
all her behind-the-scenes stuff.
And in the meantime, you can see more about it on both of our like Instagram and Twitter and stuff.
But yeah, just know that I am very happy.
Both of us are really happy and excited.
And, good things are happening.
And I'm just very lucky and fortunate to be where I am right now.
Okay, alright, that's all for now, I'll see ya'll next time. Bye!
