LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Lil Rel Howery, the well-known comedian, recently made headlines not only for his engagement but also for the uproarious and heartwarming way he proposed to his girlfriend, Daniella Lane.
The 43-year-old comedian revealed this charming tale during an appearance on 'The Tonight Show' with Jimmy Fallon.
The proposal took place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, amid the glitz and glamour of a star-studded event, with none other than Beyonce gracing the stage.
The magical moment occurred as Beyonce serenaded the audience with her rendition of "Love On Top."
In a video montage shared on Instagram, Lil Rel Howery documented the proposal, and it all began with an endearing scene in a car. Howery was seen taking the engagement ring out of its box, admiring it affectionately as he embarked on the car ride to the event.
Conversations with Tina Knowles
During his appearance on 'The Tonight Show,' Lil Rel Howery shared the hilarious details of the proposal, recounting his conversations with Beyonce's mother, Tina Knowles, in a humorous and candid manner.
He wanted to ensure he proposed at the perfect moment during the Renaissance concert.
In his own words, Lil Rel explained, "I call Miss Tina, who I love to do, which is Beyoncé. Ma Miss Tina knows, but I call Miss Tina because I wanna make sure I propose to the right song, and it's the Renaissance concert. So I'm like, is she gonna do any of the slow songs? Like, because everything is, and you know, it's, it's like that. So like, wow, you know, I got it. Yeah."
"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh so, and so I'm like, hi, uh Miss Tina, what's the perfect song to propose to? And she was like, well, do it to love on top. I'm like, oh OK, what Beyoncé does? And so that's when you should do it. Just give me the order of the song."
However, as the night unfolded, the atmosphere grew electric, but the proposal didn't go entirely according to plan.
Spilled drinks and unforeseen twists
Rel's engaging narrative included amusing incidents such as spilled drinks, a bathroom dash, and the audience seemingly shifting in their seats, all while Beyonce continued to perform.
Rel humorously described, "And so, you know, I, I everything's everybody's having a good time. They do the energy song. Somebody get too energized and spill, they drink on me, right? You get a drink, spilled, a drink, spilled on me."
The heartwarming moment was not without its share of humor, as Lil Rel humorously recounted how Black women often react to proposals and the unique way they step forward and then walk back, as if they can't quite believe what's happening.
In the end, his fiancee, Dannella Lane, said yes, making the proposal a delightful, memorable, and funny story that Lil Rel Howery graciously shared with Jimmy Fallon and 'The Tonight Show' audience.
