Dodger Stadium Field Proposal Ends With Tackle

Gutierrez said that after the tackle, Juarez spent a couple of hours in jail, and upon release, he got a second chance to propose in a more intimate setting. That’s when she finally had a chance to say yes.  

Since their engagement went viral, the couple have been overwhelmed with media attention. Some people found the proposal heartwarming, while others online have scolded the couple. Gutierrez said they’ve been ignoring the comments altogether to avoid ruining their engagement. 

“I think we get it. We got that we were going to get the negativity,” Gutierrez said. “We’re so happy right now that we don’t want to let other people’s negativity just bring us down.”

Juarez is banned from Dodger Stadium for a year, and he is still recovering from his injuries from being tackled. Looking back on the moment, he gave BuzzFeed News some relationship advice. 

“He says that he would tell any man out there who loves their significant other to tell them in that moment how they really feel and that they really love them, and not to hide their feelings from them,” Gutierrez said, translating Juarez’s comments from Spanish, “because he thinks that most men nowadays will not express themselves because they’re embarrassed. He says go out, show your woman that you love them.”

The couple have set up a GoFundMe for anyone who wants to donate money to their wedding.
