The nerdiest wedding proposal I’ve ever seen
Posted in art, humor | Sunday, February 11th, 2007 | 1 Comment »
My friend Christina got engaged this weekend. Given that she’s one of the biggest nerds I know, it was perfectly fitting that her boyfriend proposed to her in the nerdiest way possible:
Last night, Andrew arranged for us to play Magic with Lauren and Lisa, my two best friends up here in New York. (They were apparently in on the fact that he was going to propose, but didn’t know exactly how). I didn’t suspect a thing. We went out and got Fresco’s for dinner, and when we got back we started up a multiplayer game of Magic. I knew Andrew was playing a new deck, but since he gets a kick out of building and trying new decks, I didn’t think anything of it.
As play went on, I got pretty excited, since it seemed that my Angel deck was the best one on the board and I stood a good chance of winning. I was holding a Plains, Platinum Angel, and a Disenchant, plus a Swords to Plowshares I was planning to use on Lisa’s Timberwatch Elves when it came out next turn. Andrew, to my left, pointed out that he had four colors of mana out (red, green, blue, and white) and used them to play an enchantment. Knowing his fondness for really badass spells, I thought immediately of my Disenchant and hastily picked up the card to read it and determine if it needed to be destroyed.
I was so caught up in the game that I didn’t notice the name or the picture on the card. I started reading the rules text and immediately asked what an “Enchant World” card would do. Everyone was barely stifling laughter as they told me to keep reading. I looked back at the card and suddenly realized what was going on…
I laughed out loud at this part:
When I was able to look away from the card again, Andrew was holding out the ring and asking if I wanted to counter the spell. Of course, I refused to counter, and he put the ring on my finger.
And here’s the card in question:
