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.

Wow, if someone proposed to me like that, I'd walk out on them immediately. I mean, that's even worse than proposing at a baseball game.

Well, the whole point of a unique proposal is that it means something to the both of you. If you're a huge ball fan, and so is he, and he proposes to you at a ball game, then that's wonderful and means something special.
If I dated a guy and he proposed to me like that, I'd shout out yes a million times over! The fact that he put that much effort into it, and it's something they both share (WoW, of course), then I think that's wonderful. ^_^
A heartfelt congrats Michael! All the best to the both of you in the future!
*nod to Mc Raider* I wish I had a WoW playing boyfriend (who wasn't a total tool). lol.
