We meet Henry (a.k.a. Hank) after he has dug up a bottle with a message in it. The bottle was “found” by his brother Will while they were out metal detecting, which is a favorite hobby of Henry’s. Captions at the top of the frame show the discussion between Will, Henry, and Will’s fiancé, Alyssa Johns, and captions at the bottom provide background.
Will (24) told Storyful that his 22-year-old brother has a form of high-functioning Down Syndrome. As Henry checks out the bottle, Alyssa asks off-camera where it came from and how the message got there. With a slight smile and an air of suspicion, Henry asks Will if he put the message in the bottle, but his older brother assures him that he did not.
Brother's Joy Over Best Man Wedding Role
Will retrieves the note as Henry holds the bottle in one gloved hand, his shovel in the other.

Alyssa re-positions herself so she can capture the brothers from the front; she doesn’t want to miss the expressions she expects will come.
Inside is a request that Will has planted in the bottle. With a little help from Will, Henry reads it. Phrases like “best bro” and “best friend” are included in the message that ends with an exciting ask. The letter petitions Henry to fill the best man wedding role on Will’s big day!
As Henry finishes reading, Will wears a big smile, and one spreads across Henry’s face as well. Henry exclaims, “What!” Will states the question again in full. Henry immediately drops his tool and the vessel that held the note and jumps into his brother’s arms, legs wrapped around his waist in complete excitement!
That is obviously a “yes” from Henry!
