Taking the stage, Weiss explained that his mother had died two weeks earlier, but she had always loved Svendsen and that was one of the reasons he wanted to marry her. The audience cheered and urged Svendsen to go on stage where Weiss presented her with the engagement ring his late mother had worn for more than six decades. Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI
