Emily Blunt: Good evening everyone and welcome back to SGN. I'm John Krasinski and now- John Krasinski: What
the heck? Em, what are you doing? Good evening, everyone, and welcome back to SGN.
I'm John Krasinski, and what the heck just happened? Well, while we figure it
out, let's get straight to the good news. And luckily for me, the good could be
found just about everywhere as it became abundantly clear heading into week 7
that people are now rallying and taking quarantine into their very own hands. "Hey
boys, when we going on a run though?" "Yeah, it's on." "Let's do this."
And unbeknownst to the rest of the world, over on TikTok the Olympics are still
going on.
In Kansas City, something magical is happening. In order to keep their
neighborhood spirits high, the Perry family is raising their daughter even
higher.
And speaking of raising spirits, when these three sisters stare quarantine
right in the face, it goes a little something like this.
And that brings us to our favorite good news story of the week. In
Sioux Falls, South Dakota, eleven-year-old Emerson is known for the
letters she writes to the ones she loves. Why? Well these aren't just any old
letters.
One day after sending a whole bunch of letters throughout quarantine, Emerson
decided that one person in particular deserved one of her special letters - her
mailman, Doug.
Well, Doug took that letter and showed it to all his fellow employees at the
United States Postal Service. It meant so much to everyone, they wanted to write
back.
And just like that, good news spreads fast. And it's time now once again for a
check on the weather. Emma, how's it looking out there? Emma Stone: Looks...looks
pretty good. John: Thanks, Emma. And that brings us to a segment we like to call: "Love in
the Time of Quarantine." Because through these difficult times, through all the
anxiety, through all the confusion, the one constant that we've seen is that one
of life's greatest cliches proves exactly why cliches are usually the
truth. And so it has never been more clear to us here at SGN that love will
conquer all. "I love you." "I love you." "Oh my god!"
And let's all not forget that one of the most tangible, and certainly the cutest
symbols of love, are still arriving every single day.
And not even quarantine can stop one of life's greatest opportunities to
celebrate love, weddings.
"With this ring." "With this ring." "You may now kiss your bride."
Do you reaffirm your promise to dad? And to put your full faith and trust in him so long as
you both shall live?" "I do." "Dad?" "I do." "You missed the question yet."
And now on a personal note, perhaps my favorite love story of the week was a
couple down in Maryland whose wedding proposal was oddly familiar.
For more on that story, we go now to our love will conquer all correspondents,
Susan and John. Hi guys. It is so nice to meet you guys.
John: "Yeah absolutely."
Susan: "Oh my God, it's amazing."
John K: "This is
making my day."
John: "Yeah, ours too." John K.: "You sent in, I think the
greatest proposal video I've ever seen."
Susan: "Yes, he did so good."
John K.: "Congratulations guys, you now have proved that that proposal works a hundred
percent of the time now. You just made that. So I have to hear the
story. Tell me the story, what happened?"
John: "So I knew the proposal needed to be
something really special, but also really something unique, and you know The
Office has been something that has connected the two of us for a very, very
long time. So it just felt right."
John K.: "That is awesome."
Susan: "And then he got down on one
knee and he was like 'You know, just like Jim, I can't wait any longer.'"
John K.: "Come on now. That's the stuff, John. That's that sweet, sweet stuff. Well, you
know, in your tweet you would asked if I would attend, right. 'If I'm able to attend,' I think was the wording."
John: "That's true."
John K: "Which is very polite, very Southern polite, I liked it. The truth is
I am able to attend, but only if we do it right now.
You think I'm kidding, but I just got ordained as a minister for you guys, and
I'm sure you're wondering to yourself, I'm sure you're like, 'What do we need for
this?' I mean, you probably need some
parents to be here.
John: "Yep."
John K: "I think I can do parents. Hold on ."
Susan: "Mom! Daddy!"
John K: "That's your mom and dad."
John: "Hello guys."
John K.: "Okay, you also need other parents. John, you
have parents, don't you?"
John: "I do."
John K: "Here we go. Boom.
We are officially one big happy family
and a stranger. All right, all right. Are we ready to get this party started?
No, we are not. We need a bridesmaid, a groomsman. Come on guys, it's just
standard. Boom. Patricia and Tom, your best friends."
John: "I really should have put on a shirt and tie, huh?"
John K: "No, no, that's the best part. You don't need that. Whew. We are now
cooking with gas. But we are not done. Johnny, you need a
best man. I got you. Susan. You are going to need a maid of honor. Patricia, I'm
sorry, but just for today we have someone else in mind. Ladies and gentlemen, my
dear friend, Jenna Fischer."
Susan: "Oh my God. Jenna you look gorgeous!"
Jenna: "It's your wedding day. I had to get dressed up. I don't know what your wedding colors are, but
I went with pink and white."
Susan: "That's it, you git it."
John: "That actually is our colors."
John K.: "Now Sid, let's get real. Okay. I know this whole social
distancing thing has thrown a real wrench in the whole walking your daughter down
the aisle thing. But I think I have a pretty good back-up plan.
I don't know if you guys are country fans, but a good friend of mine has
written a song for exactly this occasion in his name is Zac Brown. When I asked
him he said, 'Oh, I have this new song and you're throwing a wedding. That sounds
perfect for me."
Zac Brown: "Absolutely, that's what it's about. Congratulations."
John & Susan: "Thank you."
John K.: "We're going to
kick off this ceremony. Here we go. Guys. She's walking down the aisle
to Zac Brown."
Susan: "Daddy."
[Music] "Most nights I try to pack, got you climbing on my back saying, 'Daddy, when am I going to
see you again?' You know I got to go out on the road and get on the show
so most nights your mama's going to tuck you in. When you're missing me look at the stars
up there, I'll be on the same one's saying this fathers prayer, I hope you see the
seven wonders, I hope you sail the seven seas, I hope you let the whole world in
your heart, but you still got room for me. I hope you find a guy who treats you right,
on your wedding night I'll raise a toast, hope he understands I'll always be the
man that loves you the most."
John K.: "C'mon everybody."
Zac: "Congratulations."
Susan & John: "Thank you."
John K: "That was amazing. Zac, thank
you so much for doing that. I think you made me cry harder than anyone, oh my gosh.
Okay, I gotta pull it together because we are heading into the meat of this thing.
That's right. John, grab Susan's hand because this is
happening. You are about to get virtually married. John, do you take Susan to be
your lawfully wedded wife, to love, protect, and defend ,as long as you both
shall live?
John: "I do."
John K.: "Susan, do you take John to be your lawfully wedded husband, to
love, protect, and defend as long as you both shall live?"
Susan: "I do."
John: "By the power vested
in me by this piece of paper, and seemingly the state of Maryland, I now
pronounce you husband and wife. John, you may now kiss the bride.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Lushes. I've been waiting to say that forever."
Sid: "Congratulations to the lucky couple."
Susan: "I love you, daddy."
"Wish you all the best."
Sid: "My new son-in-law, I never thought it would happen."
Jenna: "Here's all I'm gonna say. One day
your kids are gonna assume that their parents are soul mates, and in your case,
they will be right. Congratulations you guys."
Susan: "Thank you."
John K.: "I didn't make a speech,
but I did want to do this to commemorate the day. That is just
for you guys. All right. I haven't done that but once in my life. This is coming to
you to put on the wall. If you even want that."
John: "We do."
John K: "I don't even know where to go from here.
That's a lie, I do. And guys, there's only one way out of this wedding, and Susan
and John, because you so elegantly ripped off our show for your proposal, I feel
like it's only fitting that you rip off the wedding too. So let's rock.
Well we can't
play this song unless you let me invite some of my family to the party. Ladies
and gentlemen, the cast of The Office.
Susan: "Oh my gosh!"
John K.: "John and Susan, congratulations. Yes. Thank you so much for being a part of this.
You're not only good sports and a beautiful couple, but you also represent
all the other beautiful couples in the world who are going through the exact
same thing. So we here at SGN are here for you, and we're here for them.
Congratulations to all, thank you so much. What a beautiful night.
And that will do it,
not only for this episode of SGN, but for the first and only SGN wedding,
because, let's be honest, how does it get better than that?
It doesn't. This is SGN. I'm John Krasinski asking you to remember no
matter how hard things get, there is always good in the world. We will see you
next time. Good night.
