″I played Up for him while we were dating. This movie is how I would like for us to grow old together. The night that he's watching this dance is going to be his birthday, so I can't wait to just have this as a sweet surprise," said Mai.

Channeling the character Ellie from the Disney/Pixar film, Mai dressed up as an old lady, wearing a gray wig, yellow dress and glasses. The dance earned positive reviews and scores from judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli, who each praised Mai's performance.

″Jeannie, what's going on? You're great as a little, old lady. You're adorable. You're smooth. It's like you found your pace. As a partnership, the balance is incredible,″ said Inaba.

Hough complimented the dance as ″beautiful,″ noting that Mai's ″frame was fantastic″ and added that this was her ″best performance″ yet.

Tonioli agreed: ″You really have captured the essence of the film. That was dancing as acting. It was pure storytelling. You were reading from the same page. Two actors perfectly in tune. That's what a performance art is all about.″

After receiving the high praises, Mai gave a shout-out to her husband-to-be: ″I specifically chose this dance because J is the love of my life and honestly when we met, I pictured the beginning of this. Because when you watch it, if you don't have somebody, you think about that somebody. And the minute I met J, I couldn't wait to grow old with him, happily ever after. So this is for you, baby."

″I just wanted to wish you luck on your big night tonight,″ said Jeezy. ″Got a little something for you.″

After pointing at the billboard, he said to Mai: ″Can you sign it for me ... later?″

Speaking with PEOPLE after Monday's DWTS, Mai further praised Jeezy for his unwavering support and love.

″Not only is it the man’s birthday, but he has been behind me the entire time – picking me up for rehearsals dropping me off. He obviously has his own busy career. To see him go and do that … I don’t even know what kind of gift to get him,″ Mai said, referencing the billboard.

″It means the world because I’ve been through so much. Especially in love I haven’t made the best decisions,″ she added. ″But what I’ve learned now is spending the rest of your life with someone should feel like a celebration. You really should hold each other up support each and sharpen each other where you’re rough. Be able to soften those areas where you have habits that may have not led you down the right path. Jay and I do that for each other."
