I think it’s safe to assume that a marriage proposal is serious business and most couples embrace in the sometimes awkward ritual of popping the question while facing each other.

Technology has introduced several new ways to propose to your loved one, and all over the world there has been marriage proposals using phones, e-mail and even text messages.

I’m quite amazed that it took this long for a marriage proposal to take place on twitter, but yesterday Max Kiesler proposed to Emily Chang after apparently living together for fifteen years. And the Twitter community cheered when she said yes.

Congratulations to both of them in this new stage of their lives.
