[@tombarker3608]

Congratulations to you and Ava. How exciting. Oh and Jukol too.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Congrats to Mads and Ava! We are both so happy for you guys. This is the best collaboration you will ever do.....and remember, happy wife= happy Sail Life. Cheers buddy! 💕💕

[@SailLife]

Aww thank you so much guys! I do believe it'll be a very happy Sail Life 😁 If I can just get over the last little hump of the refit 🤞🙂

[@mikemcnamara1986]

You and Ava so deserve one another. Thank you so much for sharing. Baseball season is opening so I will miss your live stream; I'm so glad to have found you before you proposed. There are so many words and none I can find properly express the joy you and Ava give. The love a man and woman develop for one another is insanely powerful. So please, keep on keeping on. You folks are perfect.

[@mikeoconner1356]

You never cease to amaze with your boundless creativity! Congratulations! This is me, married to the same woman for 40 years, wishing you and Ava a lifetime of happiness.

[@lisahanlin5317]

What an awesome and heartfelt way to use you teak....It seems Athena has been giving you a lot more than just a project. We first began watching you from the beginning..Pre Athena and we liked you very much...now we have grown to love your videos and love the way you have blossomed. You have really overcome your shyness and have grown so much...truth is we love watching Ava too..she has the same cuteness and shy side you first had too..we think you make a great couple..congratulations🍾🍾💐🥂🥂💐🥰🇨🇦

[@peacekeepermoe]

Congratulations to Mads and Ava, extremely happy for you both. I hope she liked the carbon/teak ring more lol XD

[@SailLife]

Thank you so much! She loves that ring :)

[@dartfrogsromania5294]

I am so happy for you two. I've been following your journey for more than 3 years now, going through both good but rough times also. You are the reason I am waiting for the weekend to end so that I can see what you have been up to on your build. You've been and are like an old friend who I see every week on KZbin, but I hope, I really hope, that someday our paths will cross and we will get to know each other in person! CONGRATULATIONS again, and I wish you all the best! (p.s.: That ring tho... wow)

[@funkyfender1]

Oh wow! Congratulations Mads and Ava... I’m so pleased for you both!

[@garyh3823]

How freaking cool!!!!! Congrats you two!!!!!!!!! Your long distance relationship has helped me and my gal as well.... knowing we aren’t the only ones

[@stormspotter7330]

Congratulation on the biggest yes you could get Mads!!! I hope for nothing but happiness for the both of you.

[@denniscollins2032]

I knew what ever you were working on would bring about a new level of spiffiness - congratulations!

[@kglesq1]

I hope you guys have a long and wonderful life together. Congratulations to the both of you.

[@Megadoculous]

Congratulations Mads & Ava! Awesome ring Mads, amazing. Wishing you both the best of luck for a long life filled with love and joy. It's off to a good start!

[@lesstraveledpath]

Very cheeky Mads! And Congratulations! Marriage is the ultimate DIY project.

[@Vorkaloner]

Omg man!!!! Congratulations!!!! Best of wishes to the two of you! Such an amazing way of announcing the big news. You are a DIY poet!!

[@stevethompson6867]

Congratulations, I love the special ring. I made my wife the first ever toughened zirconia ceramic ring on the planet 27 years ago and proposed with it, she has never taken it off, it is a truly special thing to do.

[@rickcolston2091]

That was one of the coolest things I have seen. A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS IS IN ORDER. All the best wishes from right here in So. Cal! Home sweet home from my Dutch bride and me. (47 years of relative bliss...it can be done!!!)

[@93mikep]

Congratulations Mads and Ava !!! - couldn't think of a better way to kick off your adventure together. May Fair Winds and Calm Seas be with the two of you for many many years.

[@Lenny2353]

Good on you Mads, you both deserve lots of happiness.

[@thomaspaccione8237]

Ok, who else skipped right to the end, then went back to watch the video? Congrats to the both of you!!

[@asraharrison]

There is more love and commitment in those rings than could ever be purchased at a jewelry store! Congrats to you and Ava!

[@garysouza2277]

Except it looks like the ring she's wearing at the end has a diamond on it, so...

[@asraharrison]

@@garysouza2277 That is an engagement ring. I am assuming these are wedding bands.

[@garysouza2277]

@@asraharrison-So she's gonna wear them both???? Highly unlikely...

[@jacksun9999]

I'm 56 years old, I hope I live long enough to see him sail.

[@dugclrk]

Man, I know right. My take: he's gonna move to Cali, get a new boat and start over. The question is does he finish Athena first? Personally I'd want out of the EU as soon as I could. Convinced this will never be a sailing channel.

[@misterprofessor3511]

@@dugclrk Why would anyone leave Denmark for the US? Doesn't happen much. "The Scandinavian social democracy, as its two linguistically similar neighbors do, has a higher per-capita GDP, life expectancy and, for what it’s worth, “happiness” rating than the United States. It also has universal healthcare, a ridiculously large sovereign wealth fund and top-notch infrastructure." www.latimes.com/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-norway-trump-immigration-20180111-story.html The only reason I can see for moving to the US is that it is warmer.

[@ubbeus]

IM’’m 46. I hope not. The rebuilding is too much fun. Sailing videos are plenty but good DIY...

[@dugclrk]

@@misterprofessor3511 All that's true for now, I just don't see the EU allowing member nations to remain sovereign for long, with the richer countries having to keep bailing out the poorer ones I don't see it as sustainable for long. I'd like to see the Scandinavian countries form their own bloc. Waiting to see what becomes of Brexit.

[@NotBob223]

dugclrk I come here to get away from politics. Please leave this to boat restoration and someday Mads and Ava sailing.

[@boatingboy5337]

Congratulations guys. Wish you a long, happy and healthy life together.

[@N93DF]

Sooooo very cool! What woman wouldn't say yes to that level of creativity and craftsmanship! Congratulations!

[@gritcampbell]

I usually don't comment on any videos, but this time I felt I had to - Thank you for bringing us all along on your adventures so far, and especially because this is only the beginning of so many more wonderful adventures to come. Congratulations to you both!! Wish you the very best, and again, Thank you!

[@Dougalsdad01]

Congratulations Mads, I wish you three all the very best for the future.

[@JakeSpeed1000]

Congratulations to both of you. You guys make a great couple! I pray for peace and blessings and a long happy life together!

[@stewh1263]

good evening Mads.just wanted to let you know that I'm living in the past -that is im a year behind on your progress and i am absolutely hooked.your work and patience is envious . i am a year behind because i have been doing my own little yacht restoration and have now finished, so what is better than doing your own boat -watching someone else toiling away. congrats on your engagement to Ava by the way.i did however go to my hardware store and ask for some doohickeys and they just looked at me in a funny way and called the police.haha.

[@Bacoprah]

Congratulations Mads and Ava! I feel foolish for not reading any comments while I was watching, but am glad I didn't ruin the surprise for myself lol. Cheers from never-going-to-warm-up PEI Canada, Bryan.

[@scotte2857]

Was I the only one who snuck towards the ending to get a peek..then went back to watch the rest of the video?? Congrats to the three of you.(including Jukol)

[@spinnaker5514]

Congratulations to you and Ava, what a great 'Sail Life" way to announce your engagement! This was absolutely the best video EVER!!! God Bless you both!

[@drwindsurf]

1000% better than a diamond - Wow Mads, that is the best engagement ring ever! - Very cool :)

[@papaacorn9479]

[@TheSalvationNavy]

Fantastic! Congratulations! Now that has to be one of the best proposal videos I have ever seen. Well done! God’s abundant blessings to you both!

[@LUKE17992]

Congratulations Mads!!! I hope you are having an even more amazing time in the US than usual :)

[@badams7873]

congratulations!!!! After 25 years of marriage my husband made me a metal spinner ring on his lathe. I have a big diamond but I love my spinner ring more because of the time and effort he put into it. And the diamond gets caught on stuff., I hope you made one for yourself and you can have matching wedding bands.

[@UKHaiku]

What a wonderful, heartwarming video! Congratulations to you both... x

[@ges7991]

Wow!!! That was great. Best DIY project yet!!! Congratulations Mads!!

Mads, I read the spoiler alert first so the rings were easy to guess when you made the first two circles. Congratulations! Not only is Ava getting a wonderful and resourceful human being for a life partner you are getting a beautiful and spirited partner as well. May Oden bless you both with joy and happiness. Now get back to work and get Athena finished so that wonderful lady of yours has a nice home to take everywhere in the world with you. See you next week.
