The 57-year-old director of the Oscars took to the stage to receive his award for Directing for a Variety Special.
In his emotional speech, he said his win was bittersweet because his mother passed away two weeks earlier, adding that his mom had loved his girlfriend, Jan Svendsen, who was in the audience. 'Jan, you are the sunshine in my life, and mom was right, don’t ever let go of your sunshine,' the director said. 'You wonder why I don't like to call you my girlfriend? Because I want to call you my wife.'
The camera quickly panned to his stunned girlfriend who looked on in complete shock over the surprise proposal. Weiss got a standing ovation and huge cheers from the crowd as Svendsen, who looked stunning in a silver-grey Sachin and Babi gown, made her way to the stage.
'Hey, I didn't ask yet!' he joked.
He pulled out a ring, telling everyone that this was the ring his father and put on his mother's finger 65 years ago. 'And to my sister and brothers, I didn't swipe it dad knows I have it!' he laughed.
'Jan, I want to put this ring my mom wore on your finger in front of all these people, and my mom and your parents watching (from above).'
Getting down on one knee, he asked: 'Will you marry me?'
Her response was muffled but she appeared to say: 'Yes, of course I will!' before giving Weiss a big kiss and hug.'
'Thank you to the academy!' a clearly delighted Weiss said as he and his new fiance left the stage to a standing ovation.

*I had goose bumps watching this..She had the same expression Blog Visitor Eka Joy had on her face when her boyfriend proposed in Paris recently...LOL
All this surpirse faces,abeg if you are with a man who will marry you,you will know,which one is the surprise face for camera purposes?hehehehehhehehehhe abeg make una no mind me oooooh.
Aaaawwwππππ I believe in love. Love would come my way soon too. Congrats to them.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to them and to Eka Joy πππ.
DeleteStella the surprise face is due to the fact it wasn't expected at that particular time and especially when it's in public
I don't understand this proposal before an audience/media. Sometimes it backfires and the man and relationships hardly recover from it.
ReplyDeleteMu hubby of 10years didn't propose, the first day we met he casually said he knows we would get married and I just laughed at the audacity.he became my personal chauffeur,met my parents and bam introduction.
DeleteCongrats to them
ReplyDeleteHe prospose for wetin again? at this age? @Princess Tever
ReplyDeleteStella you be real case πππππππππππ.
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww!!! I watched the video, it was so sweet. HML in advance to them
ReplyDeleteHa, Stella lies o. I dated a guy that even gave me ring without the intention of marrying me. After being a lady of the ring for years with plenty heart break, I borrowed sense and left. Dude was still crying and saying he was going to marry me one day. Fast forward to hubby, he just met me and proposed from day one,no ring or plenty story, today, years after blessed with beautiful kids and he still treats me like a queen although like tongue and teeth we dey get am hot at times, lol.
ReplyDeleteππππππ
DeleteIt's like my hubby and your are in same whatsapp group lol!
The very first time we met, he said that I am his.
We never got to the stage of proposal with π, hubby isn't the romantic oneπ
Well,so far it's been blissful.
But hey,me I love love.
Happy for the latest couple in town π
Wow Eka Joy congratulations. Finally he proposed after much anticipation from you. I hope you didnt practically force him to propose? Just joking Hahahahahha
ReplyDeleteStella, frankly ehn, I thought I wouldn't be surprised and be just chill when it eventually happens since we had even started planning the wedding small small (doing budget and stuff) but seriously ehn, I don't know where that reaction came from.
ReplyDeleteI guess it was cos it was totally unexpected. I had totally zeroed my mind on it happening on this particular trip thinking he was going to do it closer to the wedding date.
Congratulations dear
