In a new video, posted to his [Brotherhood Workshop](https://www.facebook.com/BrotherhoodWorkshop/timeline) YouTube [channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6t9Bf2o-l8AEv9mv91p22g) on Monday, Ulrich recreated his workplace love story using LEGO. The animated adventure shows Ulrich being introduced to his new co-worker, Celina, deciding to do “something stupid” with her, and ultimately falling in love over a series of car rides, coffee, aquariums and ostriches. The film ends with a marriage—and an appearance from _Lord of the Rings_‘ Gollum, because Ulrich and his now-wife are unabashed geeks. (He told [Daily Dot](http://www.dailydot.com/geek/lego-love-story-brotherhood-workshop/?fb=dd), “We have the rest of our lives to be nerdy together.”) The video took Ulrich over 70 hours to put together, and while it is only 73-seconds long, it documents an incredible love story. \[H/T [Daily Dot](http://www.dailydot.com/geek/lego-love-story-brotherhood-workshop/?fb=dd)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4292220/couple-love-story-lego-movie/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4292220/couple-love-story-lego-movie/"},"headline":"A Couple's Love Story Gets Turned Into a LEGO Movie","datePublished":"2016-04-13T17:33:48.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:31:35.031Z","description":"A great love story in just 73 seconds.","url":"https://time.com/4292220/couple-love-story-lego-movie/","keywords":["Newsfeed","society","Lego","Viral Videos"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4292220/couple-love-story-lego-movie/","name":"A Couple's Love Story Gets Turned Into a LEGO Movie"}}]}] ```
