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.
