Found Footage: Using an iPhone and a movie theatre to propose marriage


Wow! These days, it seems, if you're going to propose, popping the question needs to be done in a super creative, ultra romantic fashion. Gone are the days of proposing to your love after a few drinks at the local pub or after a few too many at a New Years Eve party (Both proposals I know of, both ladies said yes)!

Apparently, If you're going to do it right in this day and age, you need to do it akin to the stratosphere that B.B Bling did it in. This guy took his girlfriend to the cinema where they watched their first movie together (OK, nothing too special there), but after a few commercials, what appeared to be an iPhone commercial came on the screen. However, it turned out to be a full blown music video proposal, written and performed by the groom to be. Using apps from his iPhone, the song declared Bling's undying love for his stunned girlfriend, culminating in an on screen proposal. Thankfully, she said yes, and the rest of the cinema goers burst into applause.

To to top it all off, the track is now available for purchase on the iTunes store to finance the wedding.

From all of us here at TUAW, we say well done to you, sir! And congratulations to the happy couple.

Now, why didn't I think of that?

Liked looking at the girl. That has to be one of the worst songs I've heard in a long, long time. Painful. She is one hot woman though, he is a lucky guy (I guess).

Wow. No pressure there, eh? Let's make it humiliating for someone to say "no" if they're not interested, why don't we?

Yeah, a bit too long... like Marriage... which lasts for life, in most cases.

The whole story is described very nicely in an article from the local newspaper there, The St. Paul Pioneer Press. Check it out here: http://www.twincities.com/ci_16253206

There's nothing better than Geek Love.

Would have been a little ticked sitting through a 4+ minute tribute to some girl. Especially if I am alone because I just got dumped or something.

That's because you're most likely a complete asshat.
