She said yes, and I thank the Tuskarr

It's Christmas morning. Winter's Veil sprinkles snow over the idyllic mountains near Ironforge while gnomes frolic across the battlegrounds. Everyone is working to get With A Little Helper from my Friends. Most of us have the good sense to sleep in late. Some of us, however, have big plans.
With the aid of a homemade Christmas card, featuring my own gnomified dwarf Warrior and a Tuskarr fishermen, I popped The Question to my dearly beloved Draenei Priest (and sometimes Nelf Druid). She said yes, which was precisely the result I was hoping to get. Here's how it went down.
Sitting by the tree, I asked her to wear a blindfold for a moment. Working quickly, inspired by a Tuskarr quest, I sprinkled Swedish Fish down the hallway. Then, I removed the blinder, handing her the home-made Christmas card. On the front was a screenshot (above) of my dwarf completing the quest The Way to His Heart... and on the inside it said "Follow your heart ... and the fish." She followed the trail of gummy fish to where I'd hung a necklace strung with the proxy ring. (Since this is the second time at bat for both of us, she wanted to help pick out the ring.) And voila, I had the best Christmas ever.

Very huge and heartfelt congratulations on your best Christmas ever!
Now you need to go buy her some 1500g ring in game too ;-)

Why stop with the ring? I mean, there is the wedding dress, bouquet... :)
Congratulations! Especially since she plays WOW (I gotta find one of those :D).

Sounds kinda... Fishy.
Joyous.
But fishy.

Second time around you get to do the goofy version. Congratulations!
Adam's right though, you've doomed yourself to buying a WoW ring given the WoW proposal. :)

Believe it or not, some people care about stuff other than sex. Spending a lifetime with the one person you care for more than anybody else is more important to a lot of people.

Astroglide-
Have fun with a life full of loneliness and STD's.
To the author-
CONGRATS! There is nothing like finding a mate who shares your passion of gaming. Because, well.... who wants to be with someone who hates WoW?!
