How do real geeks offer
Nicholas (consultant and blogger on CNet) and Hillary met 5 years ago and spent most of this time apart, maintaining relationships at a distance. In terms of technology, they used different options, but in the end, the main means of communication for them was Skype.
Therefore, when Nick decided it was time to ask a key question, he came up with a somewhat strange, but undoubtedly geeky idea - to make an offer on the roof of the Skype office in Singapore.
It should be noted here that being a blogger on CNet is a very useful thing, in particular, it helps to easily enlist the support of Skype Vice President Dan Neary in organizing such an adventure.
On Day X (or it would be more correct to say on Day IX - 09/09/09) Nick insured himself in reserve a table in a restaurant in the Singapore Botanical Garden just in case, and on the way there he suggested Hillary to slow down at the Skype office to pick up documents forgot the day before. Well, as if by the way, invited Hillary to rise with him, since there is such an opportunity - to see the office of your favorite company. Next came into effect the “insidious plan” - a small excursion that ended in a gazebo on the roof of the building, where Nick already had a bouquet in store, and the actual offer to marry him. Need I say that she answered yes? Plus champagne at sunset with a team of Skype and continued - already together in your favorite restaurant.
First-hand reports - respectively here (through the eyes of the groom) and here (through the eyes of the bride)
Geeky, go ahead =)
