That moment was just soooo touching. As a 75 yr old man I'm not embarrassed to say I have tears in my eyes, wow, ALRIGHT GENE! You both are fabulous, and have been fabulous, and WILL be fabulous for the rest of your lives together. Hooray and BRAVO!
I really like how this was framed up. I agree, it wouldn't have been as magical with the camera there in front of you both. This feels like we're witnessing their moment from afar, and I think being barely able to hear helps sell that this moment isn't for all of us, but just for the both of them. Beautiful moment, and congratulations!
It was so funny seeing Kari being so happy with her metal detector that she was distracted and basically focused on making an unboxing video and then seeing Gene sneak away to do his business with the ring without any suspicion 😂
I was expecting you to have a bunch of friends filming you as you propose to her. But hey, just you two at the dog beach melted our hearts. Congratulations! Even on this video, I learned that moments like this doesn't have to be grand and one simple camera on a tripod is more than enough to capture a moment that will last for a life time. Happy for you two! 🎂
If anything, this makes it feel more genuine, and not just a show for everyone. Although with his expertise, he could’ve easily done. The only thing I wished for was clearer audio. Beautiful moment.
@@petersimplifeI think the only problem with that is just the method that he used to record it. As far I'm aware he usually uses lavalier/lapel mics and I think here he was trying to be more subtle and used a shotgun mic with the gain turned up in post.
You handled the video so nicely. Could have been really exploitative but wasn’t at all. Instead, very personal and heart felt. Thanks for sharing that moment.
Who's cutting onions??? Best engagment video EVER!! The heart and the sensitivity you approched this with is amazing. Knowing it could be the most important piece of jewlry she will ever own is a huge awareness to have. The moment she said... "I thought you don't believe in this??" destroyed me. Love finds a way to change people! So beautiful!!
I’m a crusty 55-yo Aussie, and I’ve just teared up over a couple I hardly know. Kari is such a beautiful soul, and blind Freddy can see that you two have something very real together. And Gene, you filmed this exactly the way it should be done - with restraint and humility. Congratulations to the both of you. 💙🦘👍
Can’t believe how happy I was to get this notification! Feels like we’re part of a family or something haha congrats to you two! You two are perfect for each other
Dogs staying close to you guys during the proposal ( and making sure Kari was o.k. :) makes it even more special to me. Feeling so happy for both of you! You both deserve the best.
It’s been such a beautiful journey watching your relationship grow on the channel, congratulations to you both! We’re all so happy you did choose to film and share this with us! 🎉❤
I'm grinning like a big, dumb idiot over this. It immediately takes me back to proposing to my wife and what a special moment that was. It also helped me feel like my elaborate plan to propose wasn't so abnormal 🤣 Congrats, Gene! So happy for you guys!
sort of wild that I started watching you a few years ago when yalls relationship was just blossoming and now here we are, gone through a whole pandemic, and yalls are now ENGAGED! LOVE ALWAYS WINS!!! CONGRATULATIONS POTATO AND POTATETTE !
Congratulations! I'm not crying...you're crying. *sniff* Getting married was the best and worst decision I ever made. I didn't get it even in the ballpark the first time, but I absolutely nailed it the second time. But I have confidence you two nailed it because I have seen your love and closeness on all these videos. Way to go, Gene and Kari!
I love how real this is. Hearing the sound of the day without music, just the wind, the water. That's what the day feels like. There's no backdrop of cameras and an audience, it's just a moment. A second of your day that will be remembered for a lifetime. Congratulations.
I smiled througout this entire thing! Love how the dogs stopped what they were doing and enjoyed the moment with you. This was beautiful, congrats to the both of you! ♥♥♥
Definitely teared up a bit.. Gotta say, that was very smooth and very classy. An absolutely beautiful moment shared between two wonderful and down to earth human beings. Kudos!
Way to go Gene!! The timing couldn't have been more perfect. I especially love when she found the ring and how she went limp and started crying in your arms. The icing on the cake was the dogs just taking in the moment with you guys.
Gene, Kari!!! This is amazing. So happy for you guys. And dude those moments are always a blur, no matter how much we try to produce them, they end up gong in a different direction from what we expected, but beautiful none the less.
I've been following this channel since the pre-Kari days and I have to say, this is long overdue! You two make a great couple and I'm so happy for you both! Congrats, and here's to many more anniversaries and adventures together!
I love how your big dog becomes so attentive to the emotions and seems genuinely concerned. They always know more than you think! I wish you the best! ❤
🎉 so happy for you guys!! We were the cyclists that biked by and saw you guys!!! Saw this video and made it even cooler to have seen some of our favorite UA-camrs on such a big occasion! Congratulations!
Congratulations man this actually brought a tear to my eye. I’m stealing this idea haha! You’re both very well suited to eachother was lovely to see it all pan out 🙌🫶🏽wish you all the best of luck for a happy future together
Congrats Gene and Kari! I’m so happy for you two 🎉 Feels like I’ve been along for the ride all these years, so of course I cried happy tears for you both 🫶🏻
Been following your channel for so so many years and I am absolutely overjoyed for the both of you as you guys go on this new journey together. Congrats!
ok, I consider myself a strong man, but bro, this makes my tears fall down, congrats!!! the big question now is: as a photographer/videographer, who is gonna take your wedding photos? that's a big question too, in my case, I'm gonna take them myself, lol. I understand the feeling, cause I'm in the same situation, sort of. when the pandemic started, I wanted to propose to my girlfriend, but couldn´t have a chance to figure out her finger size, and I wanted to ask her best friend, but I hadn´t her contact number, so can't ask for the number without getting some questions about it, my girl is smart, but on that time, something great happened, her best friend, wanted to me to help her with some photo-edits, and that was my chance to ask her. when i knew, the size, i started to look for the ring, but we were on pandemic, cant go out, so, everything had to be online, no chance to see the ring itself, just photos, when i finally bought the ring, i had to wait for a while(pandemic), she got sick, and i was unable to see her, so had to wait for about 3 months, with that ring in my room laughing at me, when she got better, we finally could meet, so i started to plan on how to propose, the i took her to a lonely place, a beautiful with a lake, at sunset, in a restaurant, i planned for weeks, so, i asked for the meal, wine, and some decoration, i just told her that itwas a celebration for her recovery, and take some photos of us (im a wedding photographer) she was so exicted, but had no clue on my plans, i was about to die, so freaking nervous, after the photos, i was against the sunset, in front of the lake, and that was the moment, the hardest question i ever asked in my whole life, i thinks that my words had no sense at all, but she cryed, and we are getting married next april 13!!💍👰🤵♂
I also like the fact you being so emotional when you asked her parents for their blessings, could see you tearing up! Makes me remember my proposal 4 years ago!
I have to say first, thank you for sharing this fantastic moment in your lives with us your viewers! Gene and Kari, I wish your life and love together just gets better and better! I have been hoping that this would happen and I am so very pleased to see it transpiring. Very classy and honorable Gene, I remember decades ago having to ask a Father and Mother for permission to marry their daughter and it is a moment that indeed takes the idea of marriage from just your mind to a reality in the world. For all of us old school older romantic guys seeing a young couple like you and Kari growing together and now choosing to make it a permanent bond makes this clearly the best video on UA-cam ever!!!!!
Hey man, silent viewer here. I loved how you framed the shot from afar. It's like moving away from the "usual" proposals you see in the past decade or so that's so up close to the camera. It's appreciating the beauty from a spectator's point of view, a person outside looking in, and you don't have to get too near in order to see and feel it. No props, no fancy dinners, no gimmicks. Just... engaged!
I think the most tired and scared I've ever seen you look (throughout everything you've done) was right after getting off the phone with Kari's parents, hah. This was wonderful, man. So happy for both of you. As parasocial as this all is by nature, it always is genuinely so lovely to see both of y'all be excited.
Congratulations guys.. I have been routing for you and hoping for this day ever since I saw you both together and just seeing how much she supports you and the channel has been priceless and I'm so glad you in for life now.
Now that Kari has a metal detector it's the first time I've felt the need for one. Oh, yeah, forgot the point of this video😅..CONGRATULATIONS you guys. I've, like many who follow you, have enjoyed watching the 2 of you side by side. I'm happy it's finally happened and now I'll wait patiently for Part 2 "The Wedding"😁
Dudeeee..First and foremost, congratulations on your engagement guys! May your journey towards your marriage and beyond be blessed and filled with love, prosperity and most of all fun adventures! The moment you finished setting up your camera I literally cried man.! Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment
Following this channel for so long, this made me feel so happy... like it was my best mates getting engaged. I hope you guys have as much joy together as you have spread to the rest of us 💖💖
As a man struggling to find love. Due to the love-flation out here. This helped restore what needs to be done out here. Thanks family 🤝🏽 May God Bless y’all ❤️
I enjoyed how you muted the audio for a personal moment with Kari. Thank you for including us in your life. I have been a fan since 2020!!! Much love and I'm praying for a very successful marriage for you two! 😀
Congrats man!!! so happy for you guys 😊 You are both such amazing people

Congratulations Gene and Kari! Beautiful proposal!!
Lol what are you doing here? Never knew you'd be such a camera nerd.
Got me tearing up over here man dang :')
Me too
That moment was just soooo touching. As a 75 yr old man I'm not embarrassed to say I have tears in my eyes, wow, ALRIGHT GENE! You both are fabulous, and have been fabulous, and WILL be fabulous for the rest of your lives together. Hooray and BRAVO!
biggest mistake of his life, marrying a ⬜♀
they will hate you for life, and drag you down to hell with them
