I'm Getting Married.
Conrad Zimmerman \| 8:10 PM on 04.01.2008	57 comments

This is not an April Fool's joke.

After two years of her asking when I'm going to do it, I popped the question to my girlfriend this afternoon. I'm not going into the details of exactly what transpired but, as anyone who was in IRC can attest, it was fucking epic.

There's a bit of backstory to this. See, every time we're in a romantic situation, she would think that it was leading up to me asking her to marry me. It never was, and after a while I just started telling her that it would happen when she least expected it. What better day than April Fool's?

And she said yes, somewhat surprisingly under the circumstances. I have the best girlfr... fianc� ever.

Update: Here's the photo of the box mentioned in the comments.

aborto thefetus

Liar.

Samit Sarkar

Just to be different...

Mazel Tov!

MaxVest

Congratulations, unless she is playing a particularly cruel April Fools prank on you. Then my advice is to hit the bottle. Hit it hard, and hit it often.

Tragic Hero

Congrats. I hate when chicks do that though, the whole bugging you about asking them the question. Kind of takes away the spontaneousness of the whole thing right?

michiyoyoshiku

and I'm still single :^(

NihonTiger90

Sieg Conrad!

the GAMEGOBLIN

Dick in a box = Ring on her finger apparently

aborto thefetus

As you can probably tell, I am single also:(

Chaosye

Все окликнули Conrad!

I'm Doing da Russian.

youkilledmyguy

Welcome. You will now join our ranks. Prepare to have your creativity swallowed and your sexual identity assassinated. Soon the bathroom will be your only safe haven.

If I can't be happy none of you can.

Actually congraturations. The proposal was epic... from what I read in IRC. =)

Tactix

Congrats man!

Velt

Congrats man! Is great and if you love each other then the more love in between the better.

My gf says I have a problem with this issue. Actually I dont, I just dont feel like it, I feel too young and I like things simple (some things), so I never get why girls give this sort of stuff so much importance. Really, I love my relationship and her, but still... maybe I have a problem with commitment.
maybe none of you care.

Bluefusion

Her: "Honey, I can't believe we're finally engaged."

you: "Oh, ah..jeez.... um... Yeah, about that. April Fools?"

Her: "O rly?"

Clockwork

Terrible day to announce this.

If it's true (frankly, I don't believe you) congratulations!

Vlambo

Clockwork, he showed us a pic of the Dick in a box apparatus

Snaileb

Oh man, CONGRATS!!! It's an awesome time. Nice ring too, what is it? How much you big spender you?

Conrad Zimmerman

Actually, the ring was her grandmother's engagement ring. It was given to me months ago when I professed my intention to make an honest woman of her.

kaciesaurus

I really like the ring. It's cool.

Chocobo Knight

So long as you weren't pressured into proposing, I guess I owe you a congratulations.

I really don't see the point of marriage beyond tax/insurance breaks, but I've seen too many good friends and family get married only to divorce a few years later.

Elitechief27

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

about me

I write for Destructoid, primarily reviews and recurring columns. I'm probably best known for RetRose Tinted, a series which I began in the Community Blogs and ran for six months before joining the site staff and taking it to the front page. I also contribute to An RPG Draws Near and the recently minted Sexy Time! column as well as serve up a weekly collection of the best deals on games (and completely gratuitous photos of women) in Discountoid.

I'm fond of all types of gaming, either on a screen or a tabletop. In terms of video games, my interests vary wildly from platformers (2D preferred) to RPGs and the occasional FPS. The greatest game of all time is Mega Man 2 and any suggestion otherwise will be met with swift vengeance.

About Rodney Dangerfield:

The mere inclusion of Rodney Dangerfield can vastly improve anything. Films, music, toasters, anything. In particular, the force of Rodney Dangerfield could elevate video games to the level in which they are accepted by the mainstream as a true art form, bringing together people of all races, creeds and tax brackets in peace and harmony.

RIP Rodney.
