Some nerd programmed a secret level on Mario Brothers and had the coins spell out “Will You Marry Me?” for his girlfriend.

Oh, nerds. Always with the being nerds. This is one of those stories they will tell their nerd grandchildren about. Very cute, nerds. Congratulationerds. (Via BuzzFeed.)

  1. Awww, so lovely.
    Although the dog did seem happier than her about it. Just sayin’

  2. Lisa almost missed the proposal because she wanted all those coins! Those nerds are adorable!

  3. Wedding proposals are slowly turning into an arms race. One day there’s a guy doing it in coins over Super Mario, the next there’ll be one spelling it out in Alphabetti Spaghetti.
    Where will the madness end?!

  4. She was terrible at Mario. You see her completely ignore that dragon coin? I mean five of those and that’s an extra man. What are you Joe Rockefeller with plenty of extra lives to throw around? This is a recession and extra lives are scarce.

  5. Aaw, it is kinda cute though! He had to make her play the game and all… Or maybe he waited for months until she finally played the game…

  6. Ohmygoodness. Does this beat the game of telephone marriage proposal? I can’t decide. Freaking. Adorable. Mazel Tov, nerdsss!

  7. I think this was probably set up for the camera. If I was her, Id be attacking those “will” coins right away, and wouldnt even notice til I got to the thing that looked like a question mark.
    Also, this is 200x cuter/better than the disneyland douche.

  8. I love some “Nerd Love!”

    It was missing the flower with the fireball power though!

  9. My marriage proposal using Super Mario World looked just like that, except I made it so the walls of the underground would close in from both sides, and there was no exit, and Mario had no choice but to die after getting all of the coins.
    She didn’t say yes.

  10. i used to get really high and play that game. i’m glad i never got married accidentally.

  11. They should have Yoshi officiate the wedding and ride him down the aisle after the ceremony.

    I’m not even gonna front: If my boyfriend did that for me, I would be his for life.

  13. After her son cries on the way to the altar and his pants get mysteriously wet. The ironic thing is that later on that dog peed everywhere and no one said a word.

  14. You know you’re a nerd if….you play Super Mario World on a flat screen TV.

  15. She’s going to burn her eyes out sitting that close to his face.

    Excitable beagle FTW!

  17. That’s all I could focus on, I hope someone plans to tutor her before the big reception tournament.

  18. Am I the only one who thought the response was extremely insincere? It sounded more like she was being offered a sandwich than a life of bliss and nerdship.

  19. The best part about this proposal is that it’s fool proof. If she was bad at Mario and couldn’t get that far in the level, would you really want to marry her?

  20. Spelling it out with rupees in Legend Of Zelda would have been so much nerdier.

  21. Make fun of it all you want, guys, I think the is the most baller thing ever.

    At least he’s not choreographed singing and dancing at Disney World. Ugh.

  22. Was that Jenny Lewis?

    We nerds are just like normal people, only smarter and sweeter and more appreciative of people loving us.

    • I hate when nerds call themselves nerds. 1. I have no way to make fun of them. 2. It makes me feel bad that some people can admit it.

      • like when homer was bummed that the gays were calling themselves queer. “that’s our word for you!”

        (i know, i’m way behind and this doesn’t even make sense.)

  24. Weirdlyperfectgum

  25. This reminds me of that new marriage documentary: Paranormal Activity. “Bone Chilling”

  26. this is weird, it looks like she didn’t even see the message and only realises whats going on when she sees the ring.
