A Techy Wedding Proposal
Love is really in the air this Love Month. A guy who wants to ask the big question would usually buy a diamond ring, takes his girlfriend to a romantic place, kneels, and pops out that big question.
But that is too typical for a guy named Patrick Long. On Valentine's day, he
proposed to his girlfriend, Jenny
Longman, by using a look-alike of
Wordament – a word puzzle game
for Windows Phone that the girl's favourite.
In Wordament, words are hidden
inside of a 4 by 4 letter grid, and the
player's goal is to find as many of
them as possible. And with the help of
a software tool called Microsoft
Expression Blend, Pattrick coded his look-alike from scratch making it work
similarly to the real game. As you
might expect, he programmed it so
that the sentence hidden in the
puzzle reads "Will you marry me?"
when solved.
This unordinary proposal ended with the sweetest YES!
