Faith Masonius couldn’t figure out why Shyanne Sellers didn’t want to go hang out with her family before dinner. The Sellers crew had gotten an Airbnb in Brick, New Jersey, days before last month’s WNBA draft, and the plan was to go out to dinner and celebrate the lead-up to Shyanne realizing her dream of becoming a professional basketball player.
There would be a celebration that night, but not the one Masonius expected. Dinner was a lie.
The pair arrived at the house, and rose petals and balloons lined the path from inside the front door to a side porch area where Sellers dropped to one knee and proposed to her former Maryland teammate.
