Marriage Proposal goes online
While getting my regular fix of Half-Life comics at hlcomic.com, I found out that some magazine editor used the Internet to propose at JayPinkerton.com. Just another example of how much the cyber aether has pervaded our daily lives. Look, people even use SMS to divorce now. Um, nevermind the conflicting examples, just get the point I’m trying to illustrate.
From the looks of it, here are the pros and cons:
Pros-You don’t need to embarass yourself by getting on one knee with a Platinum ring topped off with a diamond in a romantic atmosphere (eg: something in the realm of impossiblilty like by the seaside over candlelit dinner with the full moon hovering in the dark, cloudless, starry night) to beg. Plus, you win points in impressing by making the proposal public on the World Wide Web. Oh, and you get to save money by not having to get the said ring and setting up the elaborate romantic setting. Best of all, you’ll know how often she visits your website.
Cons-You don’t impress by not getting on one knee with a Platinum ring topped off with a diamond in a romantic atmosphere (eg: something in the realm of impossiblilty like by the seaside over candlelit dinner with the full moon hovering in the dark, cloudless, starry night) to beg. Doing it this way won’t save you from the humiliation if you got rejected. If she doesn’t visit your website at all, it’s gonna be awkward, don’t you think so? Lastly, no ring. Enough said.
P.S. : Whoever who reads this and decides to do the same thing in the future, keep this in mind. One, PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK! Two, if you do try this out and it fails, my head is not yours for the taking to pay for the failure. However, if it actually works I shall claim secondary credit for introducing the idea to you. Three, while you’re typing the proposal, SPELL THE NAME CORRECTLY!
