Certainly, there were countless ways in which Will could have approached Henry Joe to be his best man. He could have asked him directly, sent a letter or made a phone call, or even popped the question during a family gathering. Instead, Will and AJ chose an incredibly charming and enchanting method to invite Henry Joe to their wedding. The surprise that was about to unfold was beyond anything Henry Joe could have imagined.
The scene captured in the video unfolds with AJ exclaiming, “Let’s take a look. Huh,” feigning a puzzled tone. “How did that end up there?” Will assists Henry Joe in retrieving the letter from the bottle. “Did you put this in here, Will?” Henry Joe asks. “No,” Will responds. With curiosity, Henry Joe gazes at the contents of the letter. “What does it say?” AJ questions, as though she had never encountered the bottle before. “Is it some kind of prank?”
This cherished family moment is one that will remain etched in their memories for years to come.
Indeed, the message wasn’t a prank at all. Will holds the letter before Henry Joe and helps him decipher its contents. Henry Joe painstakingly reads each word aloud: “Henry Joe: You are already the best bro and also the best friend. So will you please say ‘yes’ to be my best man? Love, Will.”
The joy on Henry Joe’s face is simply indescribable. “What?” he utters, his mouth gaping in astonishment. Beaming with pride, Will asks Henry Joe if he would accept the role of his best man. What follows next is almost too beautiful to capture in words—you’ll need to watch the video yourself to truly grasp the full impact
