Relationships usually take time to build. It always comes with a better understanding with each other especially on hard times. But once everything comes into place, love grows more deeply even if time takes a toll on both people.

Take it from high school sweethearts, Alex and Erica who met way back in elementary but after they lost contact with each, other a new chance was given to both. In their five-year high school reunion, Alex asked her out. He was certain that she was the one. The two went bowling on their first date; Erica beat him, but they shared their first kiss.

According to its website, Erica has given Alex the best years of his life. After 17 years of having met each other. Alex can’t believe they’re still together. When he decided to do something that would change both of their lives, he decided to propose and wanted to make it more special to his bride-to-be.

So he made a movie of their lives. He brought her into an empty theater. At first, the movie looks like, well, any other movie. But it did not only end their watch as Erica gave her precious “yes” to her groom-to-be in memorable video.
