In the video above, you’ll observe one of the more epic maneuvers ever conducted in a videogame. A gamer by the handle of Jed05 has used the nifty LittleBigPlanet level creator to avoid that whole “on your knee presenting a ring” thing. As you can see, he decided to pop the big question through cuter, non-invasive means.
If you’re wondering about motivation, Jed05 is willing to supply. Slashgamer picked up this nice explanation:
I’ve been wanting to do something creative to ask her to marry me, and what a better way then LittleBigPlanet! I know the last part of the level may not be that exciting, but I have a fiancée now!”
At least she replied in the affirmative. Even if she didn’t, LBP allows users to generate all sorts of facial expressions with Sackboy. Jed could have expressed his deep sorrow by mashing up Sackboy’s face.
To be honest, I'm jealous of Jed05's nerdom. I shall top him right now by proposing to my girlfriend of 2 years via a videogame blog post. It might be our anniversary or something, so perhaps she'll be more inclined to reply yes. Anyway -- will you marry me, Estee?
[UPDATE: Apparently we've been together longer than two years (four five years) and according to her, "I should know our anniversary." Also, I was joking.]

Anyway, congrats! Are you gonna update the post with her response?
He used the create a level mode to make a church. One of the grids in the level would trigger the message "Will you marry me?" She accepted if I remember correctly. It was so long ago.
That guy is the man.

Watch now someone will file for divorce using GOW 2.
But the level was pretty cool. Maybe the proposal should have been at the end but it worked the way it was. Awesome idea, Jed05!
Serious Business.
Yeah, I don't know why he asked the question in the beginning of the level, it kind of ruined everything. Build up some suspense.
Get on it Brad!

Congratulations to him! Her gasp when she saw the sign was heartwarming!
I don't know what I kind of family you or your girl has, but my girl and I would have a hard time explaining to our parents that I proposed to her through a video game. It's weird on so many levels.
This is pretty original and kinda cool
Maybe he should have proposed at a football game, drunk, after punching someone. Preferably his fiance. like a REAL man.
It's a unique proposal, and one which celebrates, comfortably, who he is. Why pretend you're something you're not?
Oh right...
If my girfriend was actually a gamer too then I'd say this would be top of the list for unexpected things to do.
And who the hell cares what your parents would think? They have nothing to do with your marriage. If you're making life decisions based on your parents opinions then you need to break out into your own life.
also, I still don't see the appeal of this game, can someone convince me? User Generated content isn't anything new.
