A Marriage Proposal at The Emmy Awards 2018
Tue 25-09-2018

People from all around the world wait for the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony, but this year nobody expected it to feature a proposal.

About an hour and a half into the event, things took a turn for the different when Glenn Weiss, a director and producer, won the Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special award for his direction of the 2017 Academy Awards.

Weiss asked Svendsen to come up to the stage, and gave this speech:

“Mom always believed in finding the sunshine in things and she adored my girlfriend Jan. Jan, you are the sunshine in my life,” Weiss said. “And Mom 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.”
