Marisha and Matthew Engagement Video Highlights 

Relationship goals: this Friendship goals: lying silently on the ground in a tentacle suit while one of your best friends is proposing to the love of their life

And just in case it wasn't Marisha enough to get engaged after murdering a room full of monsters and listening to an adorable profession of love while holding a knife, she isn't even wearing sleeves

*Marisha and Matthew* : Being cute and sweet *Eldritch horror* : Silently crying at their love

Matthew: Will you marry me? Marisha: Roll a persuasion check with advantage

Knowing that Travis was the big monster makes this even better.

Lol, everyone talking about how Marisha is holding a knife while Matt proposes but few are mentioning the whole lot of people fake-dead on the floor while it's happening too and it's hilarious and adorable

everyone else: can't you just propose to her normally Matt: no, no I don't think I can

Marisha "I was holding a sword when I got engaged" Ray

The contrast between her figuring out all the puzzles and the proposal is very entertaining and very wholesome

Shout out to Travis and friends staying in character playing dead while Matt professes his love and proposes to Marisha! Happy Anniversary, M&M!!!

Matt: "Marisha what do you have?" Marisha: "a KNIFE"

The fact that Travis almost got actually stabbed for this is a testament to his commitment and friendship

I love that she said yes while holding a knife

The year is 2020 and Matt Mercer saves the internet by posting this to remind people to love.

The fact that Travis and co. were able to lie there motionless while Matt gave the most beautiful speech professing his love to Marisha is amazing. Me I’d be sobbing in the corner watching the show.

Kid: "Daddy, how did you propose to mommy?" Matt: "Well their was a squid monster."

This is how a Dungeon Master proposes. Edit: It's also kind of charming how Marisha is clearly excited to plunge the dagger into the heart of The Crawling Chaos, but is also holding back because she doesn't want to hurt whoever is in that costume!

"These past 5 years with you have been the most incredible, life-changing, informing years that I've ever had in my life; I just want you as my partner, as my confidante and as my missing piece and my rolling stone at my side. You've shown me a kind of happiness I never thought was even possible in 100,000 lifetimes, let alone this one. I've never been more certain of anything in my life: of the intent and the wish to make you mine. Will you marry me?" I could be wrong in this but it's the best I could make out! Great proposal, Matt. Love you guys and thank you for all you and the CR team do.

"This giant statue...which I just broke... It can be fixed, OH GOD!" Good grief I love her, such a mood.

Matt: I’m proposing to Marisha Travis: That’s great! Matt: Yeah, can you help me? Travis: With the proposal? Matt: Yes I need you to be an Eldridge horror and be killed by Marisha right before I propose Travis: ... Travis: You guys are adorable!

I'm not crying I'm not crying *Matt gets down on one knee* Me: 😭😭😭

I wonder how long after the proposal was over that the rest if them decided it was alright to break character and get up

Matt really is The Bard of our century. Such a poet. Until watching critical role and actually doing some research, I never realized how influential this group of nerdy voice actors had been in my life. You guys not only revitalized my love for D&D but made me really appreciate the work of a voice actor. I had no idea how many of my favorite characters from video games and cartoons alike were voiced by you all. If you read this, you’ve really inspired me to want to make a difference in this world.

There is something really anime yet really grounded that Matt is just there professing his love and all his friends are lying on the floor like a video game cutscene. It can be hard to say those things in private, its a real special type of friendship to be able to say those things with all your friends right there listening to every word. These kids give me warm feelings in my heart area.

The romantic glow from that knife was top notch. Also I'm crying.

This is sweet and all but I can't stop laughing with Travis and a tentacle arm right there behind Marisha as Matt proposed

Marisha: Goddamn I'm good. *Matt's laughter from the other room*

"Goddam I'm good" is totally accurate Marisha 😊. That was amazing and so sweet at the same time! Happy anniversary!

You know, it says a lot about the kind of community Critical Role has built, when I can watch a video with two people I've never actually met in person - and it feels like I'm watching a pair of good friends achieve something wonderful together. I wish you both nothing but the best, in both life and love. May your journeys together be long, and your memories undying.

The red glow from the dagger on their faces when they kiss??? Poetic cinema

Me, in Jester’s voice: *You guUuUuUuUuyyyyss*

Why am I crying over a relationship of two people I've never met? That's right, because it's beautiful.

“i have never been more certain of anything in my life.” and in a world of uncertainty, is this not the most romantic sentiment one could express?

godlike

I can only say, as both a jeweler (who has seen a gazillion engagements), and D and D player since the 80's. This brings me true joy. I've seen a ton of engagements... hell I took my wife to Paris, but DUDE! this was beyond awesome, because it was done on a personal level that could only be truly appreciated by the two of you. Bravo, and thank you for sharing this with us.

Ah, the one kind of horror Travis can handle - when HE IS THE HORROR!!! But omg this made me cry, it was so cute. Thank you for sharing!

Love how badass Marisha looks holding that knife. And just the look of pure love from Matt whenever she looks badass. Or even just is badass.

How hard was it for the friends to stay on the ground after Marisha said "Yes!"? I wanted to see all of your friends hug you both. That was awesome and made me cry.

Being proposed to after killing an eldritch horror. That’s true love man.

As far as engagement stories go this is top tier.

The world is crazy right now. Moments like this remind us why we must push forwards. Thank you Matt. Thank you Marisha. Thank you Critical Role. You're a light in the lives of many, and we all can't wait to watch this loving chapter in your story continue.

Matt: *sincere, honest, heartfelt monolouge about the love of his life* Marisha, ten minutes earlier: *incoherant screaming about a broken statue and her gum* There never existed a more compatible couple.

I don't know who gave you 2 permission to be this wholesome and adorable but please never stop.

I could barely understand anything being said, and I still balled my eyes out. I friggin' love these people

Whoever that 1 dislike is, is just jealous. They wish their proposal was this awesome. 😭❤️ Happy Anniversary Matt & Marisha!!

This is beautiful Matt. I knew your plan was big, but holy crap man! Again, this is beautiful and thank you for sharing this!

This is one of the most wholesome, dorkiest, nerdiest, and just plain creative proposals in the history of proposals

The corpses are like "I'm not crying, you're crying"

the one dislike is from the eldritch horror who got shivved in the name of love

Me: realizing it’s an escape room proposal Also me: ugly sobbing These two are absolutely adorable, this was so wholesome and heartfelt that tears naturally formed. Thank you for being who you are. I hope that one day I find someone that I will treasure and will treasure me like this.

This is the nerdiest proposal I could imagine and I wouldn't expect anything less from my M&M.

It's so wholesome. I think what really moves me the most is the words. It's a short, unfiltered peak into what it looks like when two people really love each other. The kind of thing you expect out of the third act of a movie, only this time it isn't nearing the end. It's just getting started.

This has got to be one of THE most creative ways of proposing. This video is so freaking sweet. Thank you for sharing this step in your guys journey in the chaotic cluster we call life with us. May you both stay safe;💙🎃

The peaceful music behind her PANIC XD

I can't get over the fact that you're proposing to a woman who's holding a knife while surrounded by the dead bodies of tentacles monsters.

Little did she know, "Yes" was the only way she was escaping that room alive...

gosh, the love and effort and creativity that went into making all of this happen... this is brilliant and she is so smart and funny and charming and said yes holding a knife in her hand this is so wholesome i am like straight up CRYING got real tears in my eyes rn, wish love and happiness and good things for the both of yall! it's amazing.

I thought there was no right way to involve friends in a proposal... I stand corrected. I'm overwhelmed with how cute this is! Happy anniversary!! You two inspire me everyday!

Sobbing like a little kid right now. If there’s anyone in the world who deserves to be super duper happy together it’s Matt and Marisha. Get you someone who loves you this much. Gah.

Oh my gosh Matt this is absolutely adorable. You and everyone else did such a good job and your love is evident in the amount of TIME this must have taken to put together. I hope you and Marisha have a wonderful day. Happy anniversary guys! 💛

Ah man, this is stunningly beautiful Matt. I myself am going through a very difficult time in my life that makes seeing things like this incredibly challenging, however the lengths you went to in order to create this special and unforgettable moment are inspiring. This helps me believe that unconditional love is real and gives me hope that my own issues can have a happy ending. Please keep being the incredible creatures you guys are, and thank you for everything you do.

Is...is this a Lovecraftian Escape Room?!?!

Proposing to the love of your life who's holding a glowing red dagger surrounded by people in monster costumes playing dead is the greatest love story Disney will never make!! 😭😭😭

Matt and Marisha, thank you so much for what you two bring into the world. It's just a little bit brighter because of you guys. We love you.
