A real-world Mario found his Princess Peach last week when bradsmith182 proposed to his girlfriend via Super Mario World, using software which allowed him to create his own level spelling out LISA ... WILL YOU MARRY ME? in hovering coins.
The girlfriend had no idea what was about to happen when the inventive gamer invited her to power up their old Super Nintendo console on their fifth anniversary.
Check out the secretly recorded video—which includes the fiancee's reply—below.

Of course ten years later with a couch potato husband who doesn't help with the kids or even put his dishes in the sink, she will look back on this moment as a clear red flag that she decided to ignore.

What'll really be cute is when he catches her screwing the plumber. Irony will hit him like a flashing star...

Go luck to both of them!
Now go out and get jobs...

Awesome, geek-love is the best. Reading that brought out the romantic in me.

Man, that's cool, but I think I was more impressed with the fact that he reprogrammed the game than she was.

Is it just me, or is it a little messed up that she said yes and then went back to playing Mario?!!!

Ah La'Mour... It truly is a beautiful thing... No matter how geeky.

@Fe: There was one more part of the game where the game spelled out "Yes", which he asked her to play. It's hard to hear, but it's in the video.
So, not messed up at all...

GGAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!! how someone with as little a life as this guy has how did he even have a girlfriend to purpose to in the first place? let alone the countless hours it took to reporgram the game the way he did? and why am i the only person asking this question, why didn't the chick think about that when she saw just how lame her boyfriend made something as meaningful as a marraige purposal? yet another timless example of douche bags getting girl they shouldn't for reasons beyond understanding!
