Viva Piñata fan proposes to girlfriend in game
Category: Wii, Posted: 09/13/2007 at 01:22PM CDT by Frank Ling, Editorial Director
We've had people get married on World of Warcraft. We've had people engage in virtual dates in The Sims, and now friends and neighbors; you are cordially invited to attend the wedding of a hardcore Viva Piñata fan and his equally hardcore VP girlfriend.
Well not really, but this could be the next step in this virtual romance.
A Viva Piñata gamer in Florida proposed to his fiancée by sending her a virtual diamond in the game. You have to hand it to the guy...it's a pretty interesting way of dropping the BIG question.
The VP gamer said, "I just bought a 360 and VP for the sole reason of getting my girl addicted to VP and on her own system." Sneaky guy.
He continues his distinctive discourse by saying, "Well, I decided to propose to her this evening, so I sent the only diamond my digger has ever found, with a note attached asking her to marry me."
"When she got it (across the room on the other TV) she giggled and said I was silly. Then I pulled out the real deal, got on a knee and started getting cried upon. She said yes, so next spring we are getting married!"
This begs the question: are they planning on raising a small family of MouseMallows and Elephanilla after they get married?
Only time (and some serious Piñata romance) will tell.

Slightly less pathetic than marriage via MMO.....
Although still extremely pathetic.
It's not that bad...they both liked viva pinata and wanted to get married....so he sent the diamond thing then immidiately proposed to her in real life. Although it is weird that they were playing on t.v's at each end of the room.....viva pinata is certainly a more romantic game (hell most of the game your trying to breed cute animals) instead of the raw numbers and killing of foxes for their ears to constantly leveling up on a game like Wow...
Must refrain from posting mating dance comment.
That's a really cool way of doing that.
Cute.
I might be being really soppy (you can blame my girlfriend for that) but I think it's a pretty sweet way of doing it. Considering he did it for real straight away afterwards.

I agree, at least everything wasn't done online.
I bet they get divorced in Halo 3 (laughs).
