Background: We are both big fans of Hitchhiker's Guide. In fact, it was one of the first things we ever talked about. We met online on Yahoo personals. I sent him a message because his profile pic was him dressed up as Harry Potter. I thought that was just plain awesome. So I asked him what his 3 favorite books were (since I am a huge bookworm). The Guide was his #1 and he was so excited that it's a favorite of mine as well. An excellent beginning. :) So... a few years later, on Oct 10, 2010 (42 day!) he proposed. He was wearing a bathrobe. (Yes, we were at home) And told me that I'm his life, universe, and everything. Low-key & geeky. Just like the two of us. It was perfect!!! :D (Though a bit of a pain explaining it all a zillion times to non-geek friends/family/co-workers when they asked how he proposed - lol) No pics or anything for my story, since it was nothing really elaborate.

I don't think the Twitter and Reddit ones are all that geeky. Seriously, my boyfriend and I are total geeks, but I'd *much* rather be proposed to in person. The google street view one was pretty clever, though! Ehh. I don't think the Twitter and Reddit ones are all that geeky.

I gave him a wrapped present. He opened it to find a Flawless Diamond Solitaire. The tooltip on the ring is "Will you marry me". He opened it, and didn't see the tooltip. Didn't answer for about 15 minutes because he didn't realise. Needless to say the most nervous 15 minutes of my life :P But he said yes. :D I myself proposed to my partner with World of Warcraft.
