The ongoing Occupy Wall Street has provided lots of memorable videos but most of them have involved violence and/or the police. No more! This one, in which a man asks his girlfriend to "occupy my heart" and is amplified, General Assembly-style, across Zuccotti Park, is not that kind of video. Get out yer hankies!
The whole thing is beyond cute, but our favorite line is probably when the gentleman in question says, "I don't know what's going to happen in this movement, but I hope it's half of successful as our marriage is going to be." Mazel tov!
