10-year-old boy gives mom's boyfriend his blessing to propose to her — then films the moment through tears

Getting proposed to by the love of your life is one of the most memorable moments. It becomes even more special when their respective children bless the union and play an active part in the proposal. Jess (@jessharpell on TikTok), a 29-year-old mother of four boys, was recently proposed to by her boyfriend. Her sons were with her as the loving couple posed under a decorated arch for photos.

Jess shared the video of the precious moment her 10-year-old son filmed after the little one gave his blessing to her boyfriend to marry his mom. The way he reacted to the actual proposal tugged at everyone's heartstrings. As Jess’s boyfriend knelt to propose, her son Luke held the camera, filming while sniffling quietly behind it. Jess’s other sons curiously questioned Luke, asking why he was crying.

"I am just happy buddy," Luke assured his younger brother. While Jess and her fiancé kissed and giggled after she accepted his proposal, two of Jess' sons ran up to them and were captured in the footage as well. Meanwhile, Luke continued to film the proposal for more than a minute, continuously sniffling and coughing, shedding happy tears. People in the comment section appreciated the young boy for not hesitating to show his emotions and simultaneously, filming the memorable moment with steady hands. @mountainvalleywest commented, "Your sons' commentary and sniffles of happiness and joy speak volumes to the kind of good little humans you’re raising. Congratulations and all the best to you."

@rachalahara5 mentioned, "Two magical moments happening spontaneously. One in front of the camera and one behind the camera! This is the best proposal video ever!" @kaylm1990 wrote, "Congratulations. I love that your fiancé asked your son for permission which shows respect. But your lads' reaction had me crying my eyes out. You have two adorable boys." @calvinseestigers quipped, "This is the greatest proposal ever. As soon as I heard the crying I lost it. Congratulations! Love you, Luke!" @coolcatlilyz added, "He happily cried and held this camera so well! If I was crying, that camera wouldn’t be so steady so mad props to him."

While little Luke was tasked with filming the proposal here, in a similar story, a woman took up the camera to record her ex-husband proposing to his girlfriend. In a heartwarming video, Leah Bourdo (@blinkerthanks on TikTok), filmed her former husband, Steve Bourdo, proposing to his girlfriend, Shonda Betz. At the beginning of the video, Bourdo can be seen kissing his girlfriend's forehead. He then proposes to her with a ring and a visibly emotional Betz says, "Yes." "This weekend I got to be there when my ex-husband proposed to his girlfriend. She is the kind of woman I have prayed would come into his life. She is incredible with our daughters and they love her so much," the text overlay on the clip read.
