Would you marry someone who’s not financially stable?
Luke went to his girlfriend’s family dinner with the intention to propose. Surrounded by her parents, he stood on one knee and opened the ring box. Yet, instead of an engagement jewel, there was a tiny note. Luke explained that he didn’t yet have the money for the ring of Candy’s dreams. But she didn’t care. And as she was about to say yes, her father intervened.
He didn’t want his precious daughter to marry a poor guy. And after a talk with her dad, Candy agreed with him.

00:01Yes, this is the one, yeah.
00:03Wait, is that the, uh...
00:04Candy!
00:10Will you marry me?
00:18Oh, um...
00:19I don't, I don't have enough money for the, for the ring of your dreams yet, but I promise
00:36I'll buy it.
00:37That's so romantic.
00:38Look, of course I'm going to say it.
00:41Wait a second!
00:43How about I, Luke, have a few words on the side, huh?
00:49Shall we?
00:50Future son-in-law?
01:01What's this?
01:02It's an advance.
01:03What advance?
01:04I don't work for you.
01:06You do now, starting from tomorrow.
01:08Come to my office in the morning and I'll give you a decent job with a decent salary.
01:12Don't worry.
01:13Wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:15I have a job.
01:16You're a funny guy, you know that.
01:20Listen, you want my blessing, take the job.
01:24If not, leave my daughter alone.
01:31Ah, so, Luke, you wanted to say something to Candy?
01:35Yes.
01:38I want to commit my life to Candy.
01:41But I don't want to work for you.
01:47I have a dream and I achieve it.
01:51I want your money.
01:54Get out of my house.
01:55Dad!
01:57Stay out of my relationship.
01:58My daughter will not marry a beggar.
02:00Do you understand that?
02:01I love him.
02:03Money doesn't matter.
02:04Oh!
02:05Oh!
02:06Money doesn't matter?
02:07That's a new.
02:08That's a new?
02:09So say goodbye to this.
02:11You think he can afford this?
02:13And give me that necklace as well.
02:15No more jewelry.
02:16You think he can afford these?
02:18Huh?
02:19Hmm?
02:20You would have to sell a kidney to buy one of these.
02:25And take off the jacket.
02:26Take it off.
02:27Give me the jacket.
02:28Forget about fancy schmancy clothes from designers.
02:31The moment you walk into the store with him, they will throw you out saying,
02:34no beggars, no beggars.
02:38No beggars.
02:44If you're ready to give up all of this,
02:47then go ahead.
02:49Run to your broke boyfriend.
02:51But you'll be back, honey.
02:52Crying.
02:56Shall we go?
02:59Candy.
03:05I'm sorry, Luke.
03:08Yes.
03:17Darling.
03:18Darling.
03:21What have you done?
03:22You've broken her heart.
03:24Sweetheart.
03:26Don't worry.
03:27I'll find her a guy who will fix it.
03:33I'm so glad you came.
03:35It's my pleasure.
03:36Oh, there she is.
03:37Come on, darling.
03:38Join us.
03:39Come on.
03:42I want you to meet Jordan Belton Jr.
03:45Heir to his father's fortune.
03:48Such a charming lady.
03:49Isn't she?
03:51Come on, darling.
03:52Sit down.
03:53Relax.
03:55Right.
03:56So,
03:58as I was saying,
03:59we'll be moving to Monaco,
04:01but the wedding itself will be taking place in the Caribbean islands.
04:05Nice.
04:06Excuse me.
04:07What wedding?
04:10And from the start,
04:11we need to work on Belton the third,
04:13if you catch my drift.
04:16Dad!
04:17What's going on here?
04:18Darling, relax.
04:19I'm trying to organise good things for you.
04:22Oh, and you didn't want to ask me first?
04:24What if I'm not in love with this guy?
04:26Enough.
04:29Love?
04:31Think about bathing in gold with me
04:33and never ever interrupt me again.
04:37Oh.
04:42Okay.
04:44Well,
04:47you can bathe yourself.
04:49I don't need relationships without love.
04:52And I'd rather live without all this
04:54than be with some Belton Jr.
04:57Darling, what are you doing?
04:58Where are you going?
04:59I'm leaving.
05:00And I'm not coming back here again.
05:02Candy!
05:15I can't believe she left, you know.
05:20You shouldn't have pressured her.
05:23Pressured?
05:24Darling, oh, please.
05:27This girl obviously doesn't understand what she needs in life.
05:31And to be honest,
05:32you could have supported me there,
05:34you know that?
05:42Fine.
05:47I'll support you now.
05:51Remember how you proposed to me.
05:54Oh, darling, please.
05:56That was ages ago.
05:58We are completely different people now.
06:00Okay?
06:01Don't make me to pull out our photo album, huh?
06:08Okay, I put a nut on your finger.
06:12Happy?
06:13Yes.
06:14And why?
06:18Do I really have to say it?
06:19Mm-hmm.
06:22Because I was a mechanic and I didn't have money.
06:25But then I bought you a proper one, didn't I?
06:28For 40 grand.
06:29Yes.
06:31But the fact that it was a nut didn't affect our relationship.
06:35I loved you.
06:37Unconditionally.
06:39Without money and with money.
06:43And now you're depriving Candy of that love.
06:55I love you.
07:25I...
07:28You look...
07:30Oh, sorry.
07:31No, you go first.
07:39We make a great team, darling.
07:52I need to go back to work.
07:55No, actually, I came to...
08:00Okay, let's go.
08:01This is not gonna work.
08:10I came to apologize.
08:13To be honest, I always believed that love is
08:16much more valuable than only money in the world.
08:20And if we both have found it, I have no right to interfere.
08:23So if you still want my blessing,
08:27you got it.
08:38But it's not all the good news. I wanted to weigh the...
08:50As promised.
08:53No.
08:56How?
08:57I landed a big contract.
08:58I'm gonna have my own exhibition and it's all thanks to your support.
09:02I'm so proud of you.
09:04I'm so proud of you, too.
