The proposal went down while the couple was sheltering in place with family in Burrell's hometown of Cazenovia, N.Y., People reports.

Burrell told People, "My mom and Stuart got together and made a plan where he and I were going to have a date night. She set up a beautiful table in her apartment and we just planned a dinner for the two of us. We were having a nice time, and Stuart then starts saying, 'Oh, this is a good song to put on a playlist for our wedding reception.' And I’m like, 'OK, sure. But why are we talking about that now?'"
