Super Mario Proposal: Geek Proposes To Girlfriend Inside Video Game (VIDEO)

Girlfriends and gaming don't usually go together, but this lovestruck nerd was an exception to the rule and managed to inject some romance into a Super Mario video game.

A gaming geek proposed to his girlfriend inside a Super Mario World level by spelling out the words "Lisa Will You Marry Me?" using gold coins.

According to the Telegraph, the romantic techie used an editing program called Lunar Magic to make the proposal inside the vintage game, then after she'd seen it, got down on one knee to offer a real ring.

Watch his proposal -- and his fiance's reaction (she said yes) -- below.

We have to wonder: was she as impressed by his proposal as he was? What will they tell their grandkids?

So the stereotype that geeks are incapable of relationships is over?

Great!

Now tell the world...

Now that's a new one. My understanding was they never supposedly got a chance at a given relationship due to societal gender status projections. It's the jocks who are reputed as being sexually irresponsible.

Just out of curiosity, earlier poster,

What is the good way to look at the back of a man's head?

Just asking.

So I don't accidentally do it! ;-)

If you aren't gay, guyfrombrooklyn, you won't.

The SMART thing to do was put that proposal on LEVEL 5 million or whatever the highest level was.

That way it's impossible to get to.

In 10 or less years, he'll be hoping to escape to the make-believe land of MARIO bros.

The Princess will find you even when you hide in the garage.

And she'll have a long list of man-chores for you to do instead of having a beer with your compadres.

CONGRATS though.

Good advise for a closet homosexual, but some of us already work like demons, and prefer the company of the gentler sex. Call them "geeks" if you will, I think that's *gauche*.

Has I the only one here who thought he was going to somehow propose to her INSIDE the game at first? :p

He did propose inside the game, the coins spelled out the proposal.
