MATTHEW ROGERS: So here's where we're at.
We've got a sailor ready to propose to his girlfriend.
She doesn't even know he's home, and I've
been hidden away because Amy's a huge "Coming Home" fan.
Now she's about to realize Alex is back.
Watch this.
I was actually really excited about this tour,
and I'm just busy looking at the view of the ship
and just, like, thinking about the history behind it.
Amy, how are you doing?
Good.
At first I'm thinking that kind of looks like Matt Rogers.
And then I was like, wait, is that Matt Rogers?
It didn't click right away, and just shocked.
Aha, so this is what it looks like when
a woman realizes she's about to reunite with her sailor.
What's going through your mind right now?
Uh, a little surprised.
Hello again.
Hi.
Alyssa, Margot.
Hi.
And then he's saying hi to Alyssa and Margot,
and so then I'm like, wait, why does he know them, you know?
All of a sudden you're, like, putting it together.
Well, do you know what this means?
My sailor's coming home?
Your sailor is home, and he's waiting
for you right over there.
Go ahead.
My stomach just dropped.
It's a mix of so many emotions.
I was just shocked that he was there
and so excited to see him.
I think she's in shock.
I think so too.
I feel like I found my other half, you know,
like you weren't complete before.
It's just the perfect fit.
I would always imagine, you know, when he would come home,
what I would feel or how that reunion would be.
I just wanted to feel his arms around me
and tell him that I miss him, that I loved him.
[music playing]
You're home.
[inaudible]
You look so beautiful.
Oh, this is so good.
That was such a big surprise.
When Alex looked into my eyes, it
was like everything unspoken for the last seven months
we just read in each other's eyes.
There were all those things we didn't have to say.
I just read it in his face, that I
felt that instant connection come back,
and that I was whole again.
Wow, that was hard being away for so long.
When I got her in my arms, it's like just a breath
of fresh air, you know?
It's something you've waited so long for.
[kiss]
It showed me what I can live without
and what I can't live without.
And I can't live without you.
Will you marry me?
Then all of a sudden, he was down on one knee.
And I was thinking, oh my gosh, what's happening?
[applause]
And the type of person that would go through all
that trouble to put a fairy tale proposal together
like that, you know that you must mean a lot to that person
to go through that trouble.
I can't believe you did all that.
I think love, to me, is a combination of someone
that you can rely on, and that you feel connected to,
and that is your best friend, and that feels
like the other half of you.
And that's what he is to me.
I hope you didn't expect a normal proposal.
[inaudible]
It was very touching.
And just to know that they're so in love
and so excited for their future just made me proud.
I missed you so much.
I missed you too.
I'm just really excited for our future together
and whatever the future brings.
[applause, cheering]
Alex Wolf, on behalf of a very grateful nation, welcome home.
[cheering]
It seemed like something out of a fairy tale, you know.
It's a great way to start a life together.
That's the greatest day of my life.
[cheering]
