High School Sweethearts Rekindle Romance 60 Years Later In Adorable Proposal

The idea of marrying your high school sweetheart and living happily ever after is something of a pipe dream. After all, when you’re young and inexperienced, the idea of making it last with your teen boyfriend or girlfriend for the rest of your life isn’t exactly common. However, sometimes, as they say, when you know, you know. That’s certainly the case for Thomas and Nancy, though it took them a while to get there. Finally, 60 years after they first connected, they’re getting married!

This is the sweetest story you’ll see all day

In a TikTok video posted by Ada Yamila Vila, we see Thomas waiting at Tampa International Airport for his high school sweetheart, Nancy. The clip then switches to Thomas down on one knee and reading a speech he wrote for Nancy as she cries and holds his hand. We then see their family and friends celebrating their new engagement with signs and balloons.

“POV: The doctor you work with rekindles with his high school sweetheart from 60 years ago and proposes,” the caption states.

There were no dry eyes in the building

Thomas’ speech left no dry eyes, with viewers absolutely losing it over how sweet and pure his words were for Nancy.

“My dearest Nancy, it’s been 60 years since we first met, 56 years since we first dated, 10 years since I saw you last and 20 days since we rekindled. You have always been the one I had a crush on since your cheerleader days. Brings me a smile to my face and makes my heart skip a beat,” he says in the video. “Your beauty inside and out have always captivated me. Your kindness and compassion to those less fortunate … have touched my heart.”
