Nerd love is a beautiful, often creative thing. Take for example Xbox Live user Moviesign's unique marriage proposal to longtime girlfriend and fellow gamer Furtive Penguin. He built a custom map in the Halo 3 map editor Forge to ask his Spartan partner if she'd like to spend the rest of her natural life with him. After probably thinking "What's 'Arry E' mean?" she agreed to the idea of wedded bliss with Moviesign. Makes the cockles burn, doesn't it?

The only tarnish on this otherwise lovely story is the reminder that getting down on one-knee to propose is just one corpse away from a teabagging proposal. Um... congratulations!

If haven't already, read this story on the guy who proposed to his lady using Rare's Viva Pinata as a, uh, romantic candlelit dinner.

Now, I know when I met that special someone, I'll be doing things the more traditional way. That's just how I was brought up - even though I'm a bogan from Southwest Sydney, I still learnt a thing or two about the importance of real life human contact from my hillbilly parents. Especially in matters as important as a marriage proposal.

Anyway, I'm curious to know what you think. Would you consider proposing online, or using an MMO to do your dirty work? Let me know.
