YouTube made us cry: Greatest marriage proposal ever!!!

(CBS) We have to admit, YouTube is not the place we usually go for romantic moments so gushy they have us balling uncontrollably at our cubicles. No the tubes is where we go for smoking cats and talking babies.

But give credit to a guy named Matt Still for making the love of his life, Ginny Joiner, break down in tears and by now half of the interwebs with what has to be the greatest marriage proposal of all time.

Here's the setup. Ginny is at the movies with some friends when an unexpected trailer hits the screen. It's soft music and out of focus shots of two men. One says to the other  "I want to spend the rest of my life with her. She is my heart, my friend, my everything."

Ginny recognizes the voices and starts to lose it in the theater.

Matt says, "It might be old fashioned. It may not even be necessary, but it's important to me and I know it's important to your daughter that I do this as well. I would like to have your blessing sir. May I have your daughter's hand in marriage."

You see where this is going and so does Ginny. But there are a few more surprises in store. Check it out above or on YouTube.
