Utah Jazz dancer Danielle Bush was not expecting her boyfriend, now fiancé, to be waiting behind her on the court to propose. During the Hornets vs. Jazz game, Bush stood front and center as she danced with the team through their routine for a dance mix of Meek Mill's "Going Bad" featuring Drake, when the music suddenly changed to a Bruno Mars selection.
She looked around, clearly confused, watching the rest of her team break into choreography that she was unaware of. Though, she made an effort to try to keep up. When the song jumped to Mars singing, "I think I want to marry you," she soon understood the situation.
Shortly after, she found her boyfriend of two years, Brandon, standing at the half-court line, asking for her hand in marriage. The dancer enthusiastically said yes.
According to ABC4, the proposal was a collaborative effort between Brandon and the team's executives. The emotional moment has since gone viral, with many on social media sharing their congratulations.
Just before the game, she posted on Instagram promoting the team amid its recent "rough" patch.
"Alright Jazz Nation, we may have had a few rough home games lately, but let’s pray tonight is the turning point of the season! Let’s get this win against the New Orleans Pelicans (sorry L.A! You were my first home for so many years, but I’d love to see you guys lose this game and go back home) Anyways…" she wrote. "You comin? Check out on my story what you get the moment you arrive GO JAZZ!!"
The couple celebrated their anniversary in July. Bush marked the occasion with a celebratory post on social media.
"Happy 2 Year Anniversary Brandon," she said at the time. "Even though we’ve really been together for more than two years, this is the day we actually talked about it lol. Life wouldn’t be the same without you and I can’t wait for what life has to offer us in the years to come. I love you my Honey Bran of Oats."
