The hopeless romantic in me sort of cringes at the above video as I'm pretty sure that no girl in the world really wants to be proposed to while sitting on a stool in front of a TV while playing Super Mario World, but the gamer in me is jumping for creative joy at the sight. Who knows, maybe this is the girl's wildest dream come true. Either way, you have to give him some points for creativity and the musical cue at the end when they kiss is adorable.

So this removes Super Mario World from the list of gaming ways you can propose. Has anyone's marriage proposal idea been crushed? Remember when you're arranging your gamer related marriage proposal that LittleBigPlanet has also been used before. This still leaves many options open. For instance, you could some how mod God of War so that the blood would spell out "would you marry me" as you ripped a man in half. Romance is so not dead.

EnigmaticHarle

Ahahahaha! Marry me in this dark depraived basement! That is sad, but quite inventive. Surprised she said yes! Must be a hardcore gamer, or a Mario lover.

Magnalon

The Chrono Trigger ROMhack proposal is still tops, for me.

Artemus

Awww. =)
What if she kept dying before she got to that part, became outraged and broke up with him?! Hmmm?!

Solgrim

I wish I believed in proposals, I never saw the point in them. I still think these are neat sometimes though. He probably should have used something other that coins to get his point across. That way he wouldn't have to coach her through it.

fundando

I'm not gonna lie. That was touching.

electrikmayhem

I love how even the dog seemed happy about it.

Kad

I have to say; pretty cool proposal.

OedipusPrime

The dog really made the whole thing work ten times better.

Death by Yeti

ok ill level with you guys
even though it wont be video game related
while she is sleeping slide the ring on her finger and wait until she finds out(if she ever does) when she awakes

Scion of Mogo

filled a sketchbooks that all had a finger in the same place. that perfectly fit a ring and all had a wedding theme.... she said no.

BalloonFighter

I'm a firm believer in the tried and true caveman method. Bash on the head and drag'em back to the cave by the hair. If they survive the assault that is.

BalloonFighter

@ Scion of Mogo. I'm tellin yahs bash & drag.

SilversunFrenzy

awwwwwwwww!

Slick Icarus II

Dawwww... How sweet...

I'm gonna hack Gears of War so when my bride-to-be chainsaws a Locust in half, the blood splatters my marriage proposal on the screen.

MrSadistic

I like at the end she's just like "oh yeah hey sure why not?".

PJMan

The dog really completes the video =P

It's cute... in a nerdy sorta way

Minamu

A former online buddy of mine made a couple of pok�mon save files on his girlfriend's game that spelled "would you marry me?" a while back. It was really cute ^_^

Jad

how did he do that in the game

ssj4raditz

Good thing she said yes! Cheers to the happy couple!

Chack

Who doesn't want to have proposal like this? Seems like even the dog was part of the plan.

psycho terror2

*sigh*

now that this idea has been done a few times, it seems to be about as romantic as proposing by text message to me.

mrplow8

If I ever got married, I'd propose by showing her a youtube video of someone else's creative proposal. If it's good enough for them it's good enough for me.

lem

I liked how he's all "Run! Run faster! Look you're doing it wrong! Jeez move over I'll do it!"

hpv

They'd better not get divorced. As the greatest game of all time Super Mario World deserves better than to dragged through the mud like that.

Edge2k10

Nice vid! Would have been better I think if she was just a tiny bit happier about the whole deal. I mean she didn't really seem to care all that much that she's supposed to SPEND HER ENTIRE LIFE WITH THIS GUY NOW! But hey that's just me.

Rosseh

Cause marriage is a false institution hahaha

ParaParaKing

If you could mod God of War for me, I would marry you.

Jp4Real

I loved the music at the end loooooooooool

Your Moms Hot Lover

woman don't want creativity people. I took my wife to Paris. Bought an expensive ring. Done.

Xhumation

That was pretty cute and touching.

Dexter345

D'awwwww...

bruceleethree

"will you pro-create with me as the other indoctrinated humans have done for thousands of years? essentially becoming a slave to a system of control?"

"sure"
