I now pronounce you “Follower” and “Following”
Late on Monday, May 25, something neat and peculiar and romantic and funny happened in the social sphere. A marriage proposal was made.
Ok, I know you are asking "How in the hell is that big news? Actually, how is that news at all?" Let me tell you.
This is the first time I have seen a marriage proposal offered up through the Internet. I know it has been done before but this is the first I have seen.
Another thing that is a little different for me is that it was sent out over Twitter. To follow along with the way it went down, you can read the following Tweets from the timeline of Mark Davidson (AKA @markdavidson):
- How do you really feel about your prospective future Mrs.?
- Tell us more about your gal.
- The nerves seem to be getting a little more noticable.
- Sounds a little like build up to a very big question...
- Anyone for a proposal?
Naturally, there had to be a response. The future Mrs.@markdavidson, Daisy Avenue (AKA @DaisyAvenue) tweeted the following:
- Having a little fun with the proposal
- Yes! She said yes!
- Leave it up to Twitter to make the response a little hard to get to.
- Geeks rock. Two geeks rock a lot harder.
So there you have it. A marriage proposal and an acceptance made entirely in cyberspace. On Twitter no less.
You go intarwebs.
Now I can only wonder if their wedding will be broadcast live on Ustream?

Thank you for preserving a special moment for http://twitter.com/DaisyAvenue and I, in such a beautiful way.

It was the least I could do. The way in which you describe your feelings for her should be captured and broadcast as a lesson to would be suitors.
Plus the way you proposed was just plain geek-cool. You both are avid Twitter users so it is perfectly logical that your proposal would be made on Twitter.
And I would like to say publicly that I wish you two the best of times and abundant blessings during your engagement and marriage.
