When Maria sat down outside a bustling restaurant for a lunch date with her boyfriend Daniil, she had no idea that the entire restaurant, its diners, and even a passing street cleaner were getting ready to make her wildest dreams come true.
Maria was stunned when a flashmob rose in the ultimate lunchtime serenade. But Daniil had an extra surprise in store for his girlfriend – one which would go viral, topping 306,000 views in only a matter of weeks! Music Man readers can watch the magic unfold in the clip below…
Dining outside, just meters away from a suspiciously placed public piano, Maria and Daniil clink glasses and watch the busy London scene before them. But then, a street cleaner catches sight of the piano, feeling the irresistible urge to take a break from the job and play the keys.
A passer-by notices the song and lays her dazzling gospel vocals over his piano rendition of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.” The camera pans round to reveal another singer that’s sprung up out of the blue, crafting an on-the-spot duet that captures Maria and Daniil’s full attention.
Then, a waitress exits Maria and Daniil’s restaurant to add her voice to the track. A violinist wanders into frame, a guitarist, a cellist, and a fourth singer who shocks the growing crowd when she starts singing from an open window high above the Mayfair street.
At this point, Maria realizes that this flashmob is gathering for her. But she still hasn’t figured out why…
Fellow diners leap out from behind a hedge to join the serenade, singing lyrics re-written to describe Maria. A young electric guitarist cuts through the sweetness with a show-stealing solo before Daniil takes Maria’s hand for a slow dance in the street. As the flashmob transitions into Aerosmith’s “Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing,” Daniil takes the plunge.
He gets down on one knee with a ring box in his hands, and it only takes Maria a moment to say “Yes” and slip the ring on, smiling.
As the huge crowd of passers-by cheers for their engagement, countless flashmob members belt out Aerosmith’s chorus in a heartwarming moment. And, as this clip goes viral on YouTube, one thing is certain: Daniil has become absolute boyfriend goals, raising the bar far too high for the rest of us.
After one top commenter on this viral clip wrote, “Oh, to have someone who is SO romantic,” another spoke for hundreds of viewers when they shared, “Absolutely beautiful! So happy for her to have this kind of love and romance. For him to make such an effort he truly truly adores her. I hope he continues to love her like this for her entire existence. A lot of us are not that blessed to have it.”
