Moving almost everything after fiancée’s latest proposal (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emotional

'moving' is the definition.
('emotional' is associated in meaning with 'moving')

'almost everything after fiancee's latest proposal' is the wordplay.
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'everything' becomes 'all' (I've seen this before).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'latest' says to take the final letters.
'proposal' becomes 'motion' (motion is a kind of proposal**).
The last letter of 'fiancee' is 'e'.
'all' with its final letter taken off is 'al'.
'e'+'motion'='emotion'
'al' after 'emotion' is 'EMOTIONAL'.

(Other definitions for emotional that I've seen before include "Subject to intense feelings" , "Showing strong feelings" , "Very affected; upset" , "showing passion" , "gushing" .)
