Would you like the chance to see what your other half would look like in their 50s, 70s, and 90s, before getting married to them? Well, it’s not impossible.
In a touching short film, Cut Video in collaboration with Field Day aged a soon-to-be-married couple using only the power of makeup.
Meet Kristie and Tavis: both in their 20s, and engaged to be married in one month’s time.
Their journey from young to old — to really old — is nothing short of incredible.
The makeup team first worked to turn the two lovers into a 50-year-old couple. Upon seeing his fiancé, Tavis says: “I hope you look like that. You look fantastic!”
The couple have clear ideas about what their life would be like: “We’ll probably have teenagers. That will be rough, ugh… We’ll be on the PTA.”
A few minutes later, they are transformed into their 70s. And Tavis, ever the smooth talker, says: “I’m pretty happy with the way she looks.”
But the mood soon turns somber as the couple fall into the sentimentality of seeing each other with graying follicles: “I cant help but think what the potential last 50 years were.”
“To see her look like this makes me just think of where we have gone to be next to each other looking like this.”
“It’s a really affecting thing to see someone that you’ve known since you were 19 look in their 70s, and imagine what life would be like then,” an emotional Kristie says.
But the highlight of the video has to be their transformation into a couple in their 90s. Awwww.
And Tavis, no less romantic after 70 years, utters the words that every 90-year-old woman wants to hear: “You look fantastic. You don’t look a day over 75.”
But it wasn’t over. They’re asked what their last words to each other would be. “I guess I would always wanna make sure he knew how much I loved him. And how important he’s been to me,” Kristie says.
“You just made me a better person. There’s so many things that I couldn’t be without you and will never be without you,” Tavis says in response.
And what about sex? Would they be sexually active? While Kristie is sure they’ll be too tired, Tavis think he would “still try”.
As a couple about to embark on a whole new chapter in their lives, Kristie and Tavis were given an opportunity that nobody before them has ever had: to look into the future. Kristie summed up the experience perfectly: “There’s some strange comforting feeling seeing him this way… I couldn’t be more sure that this is what I want.”
