“You bring color to my life.” Is such a cheesy thing to say, but to this couple, it was a moment that will last a lifetime.
Sea Jay Films, a couple from Indianapolis, documented Karli and Ty’s special moment. And we’re not even talking about the wedding yet.
The almost-newly weds stood outside and onto the field so that Karli, the bride, can open Ty, the groom, into an entirely new world.
While other brides are used to giving watches to their grooms, Karli extends her hand and offers Ty her surprise present.
It was a pair of glasses, but the pair is anything but ordinary.
The bride had the biggest and giddiest smile as she proudly said she’s giving him a special set of glasses.
“The colorblind ones!”
The pair of eyeglasses is from EnChroma. It was first designed for doctors to use during laser surgery procedures.
The pair of sunglasses can assist one’s perception of colors by making the prime color shades (red, blue, green) look richer or more saturated. While total colorblindness presents a different set of challenges, people with color vision deficiency can be assisted by EnChroma glasses.
Still reeling from the heart-melting gesture, Ty puts on the glasses and quickly realizes that he was not ready for what he was about to see.
Ty says in a shaky, tear-choked voice:
“You guys can see this everyday?”
At that moment, Karli has opened his eyes to a whole new world filled with colors he has never seen before.
He started pointing at things like how green the grass is, and how everything is so unreal in its vividness.
He even said that he had to relearn all of his colors with his new set of eyes. And they did, right then and there. The adorable couple huddled around Karli’s bouquet, and Ty pointed the colors of the flowers confidently and proudly.
“This is violet or purple, this is blue. This is rose red or pink. White and violet on the ends.”
They even proceeded to bask in different colors like how red the barn is or how blue the once gray sky is.
Throughout, Ty kept on pulling the pair of eyeglasses down, just to compare the differences of his world from everyone else. His childlike awe burst out as if he was seeing the things he passes by every day like it was the first time.
“You guys see this everyday? My skin is actually dark!”
But through it all, he still came back to why they were gathered there in the first place – to celebrate their love and his profound admiration for his bride.
“These glasses didn’t change you though. You still look just as great.”
Karli’s surprise reminds us of how often we take things for granted and how a gesture, no matter how small or irrelevant to some, can mean the world for others. In the end, Karli didn’t just give him a set of EnChroma glasses, but a chance for them to share her world and all the colors that painted it.
