The Hilarious Story Behind Jimmy Fallon’s Proposal to Nancy Juvonen

Jimmy Fallon’s proposal to Nancy Juvonen was supposed to be a moment of romance and excitement, but instead, it became a series of comical and unexpected events. The couple shared their hilarious proposal story during a special edition of The Tonight Show, leaving fans shocked and amused. It all began when Fallon, in his typical comedic fashion, had meticulously planned the big moment, but things didn’t quite go as expected.

Fallon, eager to propose, had already bought a beautiful Neil Lane engagement ring. However, before taking the next step, he made the proper moves to ask for permission from Nancy’s father and let her brother know of his intentions. What Fallon didn’t expect was that Nancy, who had no idea of his plans, was about to throw a curveball into the mix.

Nancy’s Surprise That Almost Ruined the Proposal

The night Fallon intended to propose, Nancy had a surprise of her own. She had booked a reservation at Per Se, one of New York’s most prestigious restaurants, a place Jimmy had been dying to dine at. The surprise, however, was a bit of a dilemma for Fallon, who didn’t want the location of the proposal to be a fancy restaurant. He explained that he wanted something more timeless and classic—like Gramercy Park—where the memory could last forever. Fallon worried that proposing in a restaurant that could change over time would result in an awkward story for their future children, joking, “Kids, this is where your mom and I got engaged—at the laser tag house.”

Despite his reservations, Fallon went along with the dinner at Per Se, hoping to propose afterward. What he didn’t expect was that the dinner would stretch on for 14 courses, delaying the proposal even further.
