Microsoft Lumia's #MakeItHappen campaign helps bridge a language barrier

Microsoft's newest effort in its #MakeItHappen campaign for its Lumia smartphones was revealed today, as the company is helping a man bridge a language barrier in order to suprise his future wife.

In a new video, we meet Ed from the UK, who is getting married soon to Mariana, a native of Mexico. The actual ceremony will also take place in Mexico so Ed decided he wanted to learn his future wife's language to impress her family and friends. He contacted Microsoft, who is making one person's resolution come true a day as part of #MakeItHappen.

Microsoft got Ed a Lumia 730 smartphone, along with the recently launched Duolingo language learning app for Windows Phone. Ed even got his own private tutor to give him a crash course in Spanish. Based on the video, it looks like Ed is going to be a big hit at his wedding, thanks to Microsoft's help.
