Justin also added a new-age twist to surprise her with the unexpected. The dance, jigs, song and a street act by a huge group was cool and super fun for his soon-to-be fiancee. Flash mob is quite a new trend that has caught up not just as a dance routine, but as a way to express love as well.
Justin very well knew the dos and don’ts of taking his relationship to the next level.
