It all started when Ron Cephas Jones and Sterling K. Brown of "This is Us" took the stage to present the Emmy for Directing For A Variety Special. Emmy went to Glenn Weiss for 'The Oscars'. Weiss took the stage and said his win was bittersweet because his mother passed away two weeks ago. Weiss also said that his mother loved his girlfriend. 

Then the director said to his girlfriend, who was in the audience, “Mum always believed in finding the sunshine in things, and she adored my girlfriend Jan. Jan, you are the sunshine in my life, and mum was right, don’t ever let go of your sunshine. You wonder why I don’t like to call you my girlfriend — because I want to call you my wife.”

Weiss's girlfriend walked from her seat to the stage, where Weiss bent the knee while presenting her with his mother's ring, promised from his father decades ago. The proposal received a standing ovation by the spectators as his girlfriend fought back tears of joy. Watch it below:
