When Pete Davidson dated Kim Kardashian, and before that Kate Beckinsale, and before that Ariana Grande, social media collectively said “…what? how did he bag HER?” Well, there’s a new case of this, and it’s in our area.
Chris Girard, significant other of Sixers Dance Team captain Jackie Murtha, gave her the Christmas surprise of a lifetime by proposing to her during a timeout on December 24th‘s game against the Clippers. Chris popped the question in front of the Wells Fargo Center crowd after stepping out of an inflatable costume. Franklin, the Sixers’ mascot, helped out by revealing a wrapping papered sign that read “Will you marry me?” The Christmas game is Jackie’s favorite time of year, according to Chris, so this was the perfect and most inconspicuous moment to surprise her.
