All right it's time to read some of our favorite tweets,
in a segment we call, "Show Me Your Tweets."
[THEME MUSIC]
[APPLAUSE]
Thought that was gonna go on longer.
All right.
Here's the first one.
"Almost 22 years ago, two people had sex
and now I have to go to work every day."
[LAUGHTER]
Here's another one.
"Me, after using 'furthermore' in an essay."
Lastly, I could not ignore this one.
It's a proposal at the Eiffel Tower.
Look how beautiful that is.
It says, hi, @chrissyteigen and @TheEllenShow.
My parents aren't going to attend my wedding because they
don't like that I'm gay.
I need someone to walk me down the aisle,
and someone else for a father-daughter dance.
Please come.
My fiancée and I would cry.
Well, their names are Kate and Sarah.
And they don't know this, but they're my next guests.
Come on down.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Hi.
Oh, my God!
Hi.
Thank you.
Hi.
I'm not wearing waterproof makeup.
Hi.
Thank you.
Hi.
Surprise!
Who's who?
I'm Kate.
I'm Sarah.
Hi, Sarah.
Hi, Kate.
I know.
We just kind of pulled you into the audience.
You thought you were doing something else.
Ellen is looking me in the eyes and I'm freaking out.
Well, first of all, that was a beautiful picture.
That was amazing.
So did you know this was planned?
Me?
Yeah.
No.
I had no idea that this was going to happen.
And I'll tell you why.
It's because, for about a year, like,
we talked about getting engaged.
So the trade-off was, I'll get down on one knee.
I'll get her reaction, and then she
can watch me walk down the aisle.
Fair.
So for about a year, I was planning
the ring and how am I going to propose and things like that.
And then once we were doing this photo shoot
in front of the Eiffel Tower, the woman had me pose in a way
where my back was towards her.
And then she got down on one knee and I blacked out.
So no, I definitely did not see this coming.
All right.
So what's the most memorable moment of that day?
So, for me-- well, first and foremost, I just
have to thank you.
Because if it wasn't for someone like you,
I would have never had the courage to just go out there
in the public and be able to propose to my fiancée.
So many people don't accept that.
And you've paved the way for queer women everywhere.
And it's just, like, the most inspiring thing.
Like, seriously.
[CROWD CHEERING]
Ellen!
Everybody deserves love.
That's the most important thing.
It's all that matters in this life, is love.
And the fact that some people don't understand that it's
just, you know, it's just love.
There's nothing wrong with it.
And the fact that your family doesn't accept it,
I am so sorry.
And not your whole family, some of your family is OK, right?
Right.
So all of my siblings, I five brothers and a sister,
they're all absolutely phenomenal with me.
My mom was really terrible.
I've been out for, like, five years now.
So she's said, you know, everything you
could think of under the sun.
But coming out and owning it, and growing over the last five
years, has been the greatest gift.
I just am so thankful that I came out,
because it's taught me courage and just owning who I am.
And it allowed me to be my authentic self.
Yep, yep.
Exactly.
[APPLAUSE]
All right.
I am so happy that you had the courage to do it,
because a lot of people don't have the courage to do it.
So that's the most important thing,
is it teaches you how strong you are.
Yeah.
And also to be 100% who you are born to be.
I can't be at the wedding, but I have a stand-in that is--so--
Oh, my God.
Oh, perfect.
There's tissues in it's hand.
Like, for a tissue, you can--
That is perfect.
Oh, I'll need that.
I'll need that.
That's perfect.
This will wipe your face, like this.
You just have somebody wipe your face like that.
I love that.
All right.
And then I have a real wedding gift for you.
But we're going to take a break.
And then I'll give you a wedding gift.
OK?
Oh, my God.
All right.
We'll be back.
We're back with Kate and Sarah, and I told you
I have a wedding gift for you.
And it's behind the door.
So it's a big present.
Let's open it up.
All right.
Oh, my God.
Let's unwrap the gift.
[MUSIC - PHARELL WILLIAMS, "HAPPY"]
(SINGING) Because I'm happy.
Oh, my God!
[APPLAUSE]
[SIDE CONVERSATIONS]
So these are family and friends that we surprised you with.
So, Sarah, do you want to tell her why everybody's here?
Yeah.
I mean, I know you already proposed to me.
But of course you know I had to get my piece in there,
because you deserve it.
And there's no better way to do it
than in front of our chosen family, and of course
our biggest role model.
Oh, my God.
And the way that you feel today, is the way
you make me feel every day.
And I can't wait to spend my life feeling that way.
I love you so much.
Will you be my wife?
[CROWD CHEERING]
Oh, my God.
Holy [BLEEP]!
Oh, my God!
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Woo!
Thank you so much.
Oh, my God!
So for Kate, and for all the people out there
that are not accepted by their family,
you are loved by so many people.
And we love you for who you are exactly.
So know that.
And anybody struggling out there, just
be proud of who you are and know that you're going
to find a different family.
And maybe that family will come around eventually.
But for now, you have this family.
And I want to say, congratulations.
I'm sorry I can't be at the wedding.
But Shutterfly loves stories like this,
and they want you to have an open bar,
so they're going to give you a check for $25,000.
What!
We'll be back.
Hi, I'm Andy.
Ellen asked me to remind you to subscribe to her channel
so you can see more awesome videos.
Like videos of me getting scared or saying embarrassing things,
like ball peen hammer and also some videos
of Ellen and other celebrities, if you're
into that sort of thing.
Oh, [BLEEP]!
God!
