Googler uses StreetView to make proposal full of pizazz
Let’s start at the beginning. Some time ago, I met a wonderful girl named Leslie. We fell in love, eventually moved in together, and have been building a life with each other ever since. Things were great! As a result, I decided to do the obvious thing: I proposed (”Proposal 1.0″). And within moments, she said YES!
That’s a quote from Michael Weiss-Malik, a Googler based at Mountain View. Michael’s lucky - he’s engaged to be married to ‘a wonderful girl’ AND works for Google. What else could he want?
But my original proposal was quiet and low-key. It was just some simple heart-felt words exchanged during a quiet night at home. And while Proposal 1.0 had plenty of sentiment, it was lacking in pizazz.
So Michael found out about a coordinated Google StreetView ‘filming’ and decided he’d make his proposal there (see picture above or on Google Maps).
Now Michael wants YOUR help. Apparently, he’s not going to tell ‘Bride-to-be’ about his proposal (seems odd?) but he wants YOU to tell her for him (lazy). He wants you to email her proposing to her on behalf of him (complex). Now get proposing!
