And it is exactly what we need right now. Thankfully, Will Claussen shared about it online. This guy is 24 years old and he is set to get married to the love of his life in July 2021.

And he did it in the most special way that it also touched many hearts. He shared the video of how he asked him which has gone viral on social media.
He popped the question with a creative plan.
It is by using a message in a bottle – with a twist.
On August 14, they were in their family’s cabin in Hackensack, Minnesota. That’s where he did the touching “bro-posal”. Will shared with KMSP how he came up with the idea.
“Henry, or Hank as we like to call him, has loved metal detecting for quite some time. He has a small pile of treasures and now this is one he will add to this collection.”
In the video, you’ll see how Henry excitedly digs up a bottle “discovered” by his metal detector.
When he got the bottle, he was wondering what was inside it so his big bro helped him out. They found out that there was a note. Will pretended that he didn’t know what is written on it so Henry read it out loud.
The note reads:
“Henry Joe, you are already the BEST bro, and my very BEST frand, so will you please say yes and be my BEST man?”
It was a touching moment.
After reading the letter, Henry realized that his brother was asking him to be his best man. He was extremely surprised and even said, “What?”.
Henry jumped for joy and immediately gave his brother a hug.
He was so happy and his smiles are contagious.
In an interview with ABC’s World News Tonight, Henry expressed how happy he is for his brother. What he feels is pure bliss.
“I’m happy for my brother. I’m happy for their marriage. And I’m so proud of them so much,” he said.
This adorable guy can’t wait for his bro’s wedding!
