Brooklyn Man Proposes With X-Ray at Urgent Care Clinic

A trip to urgent care isn't usually romantic, but Justin Wright turned a medical visit into a marriage proposal that's melting hearts across the internet.

When 27-year-old Anais Berman slipped on black ice and hurt her wrist in Brooklyn, New York, her boyfriend saw an unexpected opportunity. Instead of just scheduling a regular checkup, Justin planned something extraordinary with the staff at CityMD urgent care in Downtown Brooklyn.

On the morning of February 12, Justin picked up a 3.47 carat yellow canary diamond ring and headed to the clinic. He asked the medical team to help him pull off a surprise proposal, and they immediately said yes.

When Anais arrived for what she thought was a routine X-ray appointment, the medical staff was in on the secret. As the X-ray image appeared on the screen, it showed her wrist alongside an unmistakable sparkle: her engagement ring. Justin got down on one knee right there in the examination room, surrounded by smiling doctors and nurses.

"I turned to Justin and I was beyond shocked," Anais told People magazine. "It did not feel real. I've never been so surprised in my life."

The CityMD clinic shared the sweet moment on Instagram with the caption "Here's to being each other's emergency contacts for life!" The video shows Anais's genuine shock as she asks "Are you serious?" while the medical team celebrates around them.

Sunny's Take

This proposal reminds us that love shows up in the most unexpected places. What could have been just another stressful medical visit became a moment this couple will treasure forever, thanks to Justin's creativity and a team of healthcare workers who took a few extra minutes to spread joy.

CityMD CEO Navienne Dunkley said the clinic is "honored to be part of the happy couple's special moment that will last a lifetime." The viral video has touched thousands of people who needed a reminder that romance and kindness can brighten even the most ordinary days.

Sometimes the best moments in life happen when we least expect them.
