A stroll along the Asbury Park boardwalk turned into the marriage proposal of a lifetime for Brittani Taylor.
With the help of dozens of family and friends, some of whom flew or drove in from other states, her boyfriend of four years Bryan Taylor (no relation yet) organized a flash mob that surprised Brittani with a serenade of the Jagged Edge's "Let's Get Married" on June 10.
The proposal, filmed and edited by Tinton Falls production company NRG Film Company, has gotten more than 200,000 views on Facebook after the Asbury Park Press told the behind-the-scenes story.
Brittani's cousin had lured her onto the boardwalk for a couple of drinks when she saw some of Bryan's friends there. "Then, I start seeing pictures and hearing this song, and through my head I was like, 'Oh my God is this happening now? Is this happening?'," she told the newspaper.
The video shows more and more people joining in the serenade, some holding signs printed with the lyrics, as Brittani is escorted into Convention Hall, through a terrace and down onto the beach, where Bryan had left her a string of notes. When she turned around, he popped the question. (She said yes.)
