Good proposals
Yesterday at work a co-worker told a story about a friend. This friend was getting ready to go to a wedding, and her boyfriend asked her what she was going to wear. She told him she was going to wear such-and-such dress, and he took out a little box and opened it up to reveal an engagement ring, and said something like, "Would you consider wearing this ring too?"
I thought that was charming. But perhaps even more charming (from a geek perspective) is something I only just came across, though it happened a while ago: CmdrTaco, the guy who runs Slashdot, proposing in a Slashdot posting. There are some great comments posted, too; I was going to quote a couple of them, then realized that they're probably funnier in context (and mostly only funny to geeks with a little familiarity of how Slashdot works).
