Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper helped a New Jersey high school student make a grand promposal to his crush.
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper recently stepped out of the batter's box and into the role of wingman for a New Jersey high school student.
Harper helped 17-year-old Parsippany Hills High School senior Luke Reisman create a memorable promposal for his crush, 17-year-old Madison Russo.
Reisman, an avid Phillies fan, reached out to Harper on social media, asking for his help in making his promposal special. Harper was impressed by Reisman's creativity and eagerness and agreed to assist.
Together, they devised a plan to involve Harper in a video promposal that Reisman would send to Russo. In the video, Harper holds up a sign that reads, "Madison, will you go to prom with Luke?"
Russo, who is also a Phillies fan, was thrilled by the unexpected surprise. She immediately said yes, and the video quickly went viral on social media.
"I couldn't believe Bryce Harper was actually helping me with this," said Reisman. "It was a dream come true."
Reisman's promposal was not only special for him and Russo but also for Harper, who said he was happy to help out a young couple.
"I love seeing kids happy," said Harper. "It was a pleasure to be a part of their special moment."
The promposal also showcased the power of social media to connect people and make dreams come true.
"I never thought in a million years that Bryce Harper would respond to me," said Reisman. "It just shows that anything is possible."
Reisman and Russo attended the prom together in style, with Russo wearing a Phillies jersey in honor of Harper's involvement.
The story of Harper's wingman moment has warmed hearts and inspired others to think outside the box when it comes to promposals.
"It's great to see that even famous athletes like Bryce Harper are willing to go the extra mile to make a difference in the lives of others," said Russo.
Harper's gesture has also drawn attention to the importance of mentorship and support for young people.
"It's important for kids to have positive role models in their lives, and Bryce Harper is certainly one of them," said Reisman.
The promposal was a heartwarming example of how sports can bring people together and create lasting memories. It will undoubtedly be a story that Reisman and Russo will cherish for years to come.
