Picture this: Glenn Weiss takes the stage at the 2018 Emmys on September 17, having just won Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special for the 2018 Oscars. Instead of delivering a typical acceptance speech, he goes all out and proposes to the love of his life, right there in front of millions of viewers. Grab your tissues because this unforgettable moment will leave you smiling from ear to ear.

A Tribute to His Late Mother

Glenn's speech began on a deeply personal note. He expressed his gratitude for being at the Emmys but noted the bittersweet nature of the moment. "I’m really grateful to be here, but it’s bittersweet," he admitted. "The person most proud at this moment would be my mom, but she passed away just two weeks ago. Part of my heart is broken, and I don’t think it will ever fully heal. But she’s with me, and she always will be. My mom always believed in finding the sunshine in things, and she adored my girlfriend. Jan [Svendsen], you are the sunshine in my life, and mom was right: don’t ever let go of your sunshine." His words resonated with the audience, who could feel the depth of emotion in every sentence.

The Proposal That Stole the Show

Glenn then took the moment to a whole new level. "You might wonder why I don’t like to call you my girlfriend," he quipped. "Because I want to call you my wife." The audience erupted into applause, and you could feel the excitement building. Celebrities in the audience were rising to their feet, cheering Glenn on. But Glenn wasn't done yet. "I didn’t ask yet," he joked, drawing laughter from the crowd. "This is the ring my dad put on my mom’s finger 67 years ago. And to my sisters and brothers, I didn’t swipe it. Dad knows I have it, OK." His humor and sincerity made the moment even more special.
