Your support makes all the difference.A soon to be married couple were given a glimpse of their lives together as make-up artists showed what they might look like as they age, in a video posted online.
Cut Video and Field Day, who collaborated on the video, entitled '100 years of beauty: Aging', used make up and prosthetics to age twenty-somethings, Kristie and Tavis, by about 60 years.
The film makers said of the production: 'If you had a crystal ball and could gaze into the future, how would you feel seeing the love of your life as a 90-year-old?
'We dare you not to tear up as they fall in love again and again.'
The make-up artists created looks depicting four possible stages of the couple’s life: late twenties, fifties, seventies and nineties.
Kristie said of the experience: "It’s a really affecting thing to see someone you've known since you were 19 in their seventies and imagine what life would be like then."
The bride-to-be is shown to be getting increasingly emotional throughout the video, posted on YouTube, as the couple imagine their lives together through the years.
When asked why the process was so overwhelming, Tavis responds, while made up as a 90-something: "I can’t help but think about 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 and what would have gone on in between."
