Hayley’s father passed away in April 2014, and her boyfriend, Tyler, never got to ask him permission to marry his daughter. Tyler wanted to go through that tradition. So when the time came, he decided to ask Haylee’s siblings instead. But when one of Haylee’s brother says that their dad would be 100% for Tyler marrying Haylee (1:50), you know that’s the moment where Tyler was choking up (or, at least, I was while watching this).

Siblings Grant, Zach, and Danielle all gave Tyler their support, which he made sure to document in the video. As for Haylee’s late father, Tyler’s video includes a voiceover letter to him explaining that he’s proposing to Haylee (starts at 1:58), and how he always thought about the day he’d ask him for his blessing.

Around 3:15 of the video, while the couple is in Rome, Tyler drops to one knee. This is the part that’s completely tear-jerking. Because during this time, the voiceover letter to Haylee’s dad says, “But most importantly, I’ll make you proud to call me your son.”

The end of the video will make you laugh, cry, and feel just about every emotion that the pre-proposal footage did, too. So, if you have the time, you should just watch this whole thing. Because it will make you feel ALL the feels.
