A Bejeweled Wedding Proposal



To propose to his girlfriend Tammy Li, Bernie Peng wrote a Bejeweled game (from scratch!) on her Nintendo DS. After she reached a certain score, the screen cleared and a ring dropped down (she said yes).

Fox News has more details:

The couple plan to marry over Labor Day weekend, and PopCap, the Seattle company that makes "Bejeweled," will fly the couple to Seattle as part of their honeymoon.

"Most video game companies would frown on people manipulating their games," said Garth Chouteau, a spokesman for PopCap.

"But it won him a woman. As a bunch of geeks we have to say, ‘Bernie, hats off to you."’

The company is also supplying copies of "Bejeweled" to hand out as favors to the wedding guests. [No word on which format those will be.]
