I heard this story on the radio today, and thought it was quite funny.

Some guy named Bernie Peng, spent an entire month reprogramming his girlfriend’s favorite game (Bejewelled). When she reached a certain point level it showed a special wedding proposal screen and a ring.

Awestruck at what he’d done she of course said yes.

Popcap the makers of the game were impressed by this love story and as a wedding present flew the lovebirds to Seattle, for their honeymoon, where I’m betting there was quite a bit of Dungeons and Dragons to be had.

Not only that Popcap also gave away 250 free games to those at the Wedding Reception, pretty nice huh?!
