Oct 19 2009Aww: Custom Mario Level Wedding Proposal
Some guy proposed to his girlfriend by spelling out 'LISA WILL YOU MARRY ME?' in coins in a Super Mario World level he edited. This is the video of Lisa playing the game and accepting his proposal.
My nerdy way to propose. On October 15th 2009, it was out 5 year anniversary so i decided to propose. Using a program called lunar magic I was able to spell "lisa... Will you marry me?" she may not look too surprised in the video but you should of seen her afterwords, she couldn't sit still!!! And no it wasn't staged, but I did sit her down told her to play some Super Mario World, but she totally didn't know she was being recorded!!
Cute! This gives me a great idea about how I'm going to propose. By never asking. What do you think -- too romantic?
Thanks to mygirlfriendtoldmetosendthisin, Alex, Geo, Steve and Chaemelion, who all proposed the old fashioned way: by hacking roadsigns.

This has to be the most beautiful thing i have ever seen.

During their kiss it looks like he was going to cop a feel on the bobbie. I would have to give her an idea of what she's in store for.
6. Ollie Williams - October 19, 2009 5:24 PM
Amen, GW, amen.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was walking and some sneakers fell on his head, later the police came by and arrested him and put him in a jail where he needed to dig holes.

10. akonn - October 19, 2009 5:31 PM
this is an awesome way to propose... shoulda been in gears of war or something written in splattered chainsaw blood... sounds more romantic to me
11. ffffffffff - October 19, 2009 5:33 PM
from the direction things were headed at the end of that video
i wonder if he stopped recording
12. alexskills - October 19, 2009 5:49 PM

@ 9, agreed, the dog pushes it right over into romantic comedy territory.

Pretty good.
I proposed to my wife in a photo booth.
(Long story below)
We passed a photo booth in the mall, and i said, "hey baby, lets get our pictures taken." and she was being a pain in the ass about it, refusing to do it.
I almost had to shove her in the photo booth.
She got in, i put in the money and it took the first picture.
In the second picture, you can see i just said, "hey baby, there is something i've been wanting to ask you...." and you can see her looking down.
In the third picture you can see her jaw drop when I asked, "will you marry me?"
In the fourth picture you can see her leaning over saying, "NO No no no no no no"
To which i cried, "What!?"
She said, "No, of course i will marry you, yes! i just can't believe it. i didn't think it was real. i never thought i would be proposed to in a photo booth." so she was really suprised and had no idea.
15. Closet Nerd - October 19, 2009 6:05 PM
@14 The reason I proposed in the photo booth was so that we would have photos of the EXACT moment I proposed to her. And now we have a 4 picture strip, of my proposal, from the photo booth.

I liked the dog too, until I realized it was trying to stop her. "He locks me in the basement when you're at work!"
17. Jazzman - October 19, 2009 6:27 PM
FAIL... that had to be the lamest proposal... I'm sure he didn't get any ass that night!!! He needs to invest in a freaking couch before he gets married too... losers!!!
18. titsonsnack - October 19, 2009 7:05 PM
LOL.... Dog is like, "NOOOOOOOOO, Don't do it Lisa!"
19. oh yeah - October 19, 2009 7:05 PM
I love how she's just like "Meh... I guess so." hahaha.
20. bass - October 19, 2009 7:51 PM
thats the most adorable thing my pansy ass has ever seen =,]
21. Myrph - October 19, 2009 8:05 PM
Kinda reminds me of the guy who modded Chrono Trigger to propose to his girlfriend/fiancee...
Personally I think Chrono Trigger is better than Mario so makes a better tool for proposing with...
22. Zesty - October 19, 2009 8:17 PM
That YES!!! written in coins at the end woulda been rough as piiiss if she said no.
23. Gisela Blanco - October 19, 2009 8:20 PM
I am very sure that the girl just did not read the coins. She only got it when she saw the ring...
Anyway, that was so sweet and special... they will definitely be happy together.
24. Dwarth - October 19, 2009 9:40 PM
This is so geeky... I love it...

28. Beastman AIDS - October 20, 2009 12:30 AM
If I wanted to get married i'd be all like "hey baby what's hapnin' ya'll I gots me a ring 'n shit for you bitch". And then GW would swoon and i'd catch him in my mighty bronzed arms and carry him off into the sunset.
29. taylor - October 20, 2009 12:32 AM
oh my god...this made me tear up a little.
30. RK - October 20, 2009 1:32 AM
it doesn't get much more romantic than this. nice work!
31. Funeral Balloons - October 20, 2009 3:22 AM
I think something as important as a proposal should be treated with more romance than... this. This is just kind of sad.
But she was happy with it, so whatever.
32. Annie - October 20, 2009 3:40 AM
If somebody proposed to ME like that I would be all of a dither. ALL. OF. A. DITHER.
33. Jaded Icon - October 20, 2009 7:04 AM
A cute girl that likes to play video games, I'd marry her too. Of course I probably wouldn't have waited 5 years for that.........maybe 4.
34. Geekolojew - October 20, 2009 7:05 AM

Aw man, I wish I was better at coding. I tried making a custom Mario-world level to propose to my girlfriend, but instead it read "Honey, I had a gay affair".
