Jake Conrad
decided to get an NBA team involved when he was planning his marriage proposal
to Michael Holtzman.
During halftime
of the NBA game between the Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs, the epic
proposal took place on the court.
Conrad had the
very enthusiastic help of the team’s mascot, Bennie the Bull, and their dancing
cheerleaders who are called the Luvabulls.
The mascot
brought an unsuspecting Holtzman onto the court as the song Do You Love Me
blared.
Bennie combed
Michael’s hair, the Lovabulls formed an aisle and Holtzman turned around to see
Conrad making his way to him with ring in hand.
He got on one
knee and popped the question.
Holtzman said
‘yes’ and there was cheering in the crowd.
The announcer
can be heard saying, “Congratulations Michael and James’ as the happy couple
shared a hug and a brief kiss.
Bennie,
standing near them, raised his hands in triumph and delight and the Lovabulls
danced around the happy pair.
Retired NBA
star Scottie Pippen, a former player for the Bulls, was at the game and
congratulated the couple and posed for a photo with them.
The surprise
was clearly put together quickly.
Just two days
earlier, Conrad had posted on Facebook: ‘HELP! Does anyone know ANYONE I can
contact at the Chicago Bulls offices?’
Then on
Thursday (8 December) he posted: ‘Thank you to everyone! I was trying to work
on a surprise for Michael tonight at the game (thank goodness he doesn’t have
Facebook). I finally got in touch with the organization! Let’s say…this is
going to be a VERY memorable evening!!!’
It certainly
was.
