I have no doubt. I veto in principal...the principal of actual human connection. Oh, I’m sure it all makes perfect sense and is most sentimental and clever and sweet. I have no doubt.

However, in this case, Mommy Pie's blog was such a huge part of her life and such an obvious fun way to make a proposal special. Plus they connected on Facebook , so it was really fitting for their relationship. QQ Justin,

I would respetfully submit that the true question is was it ever cool. My answer is "no." As to the notion of Web 2.0 proposals...I can appreciate creativity and the tremendous amount of thought and effort that went into this. This took way skill and creativity than old uncreative and cliche standbys (e.g. fancy schmancy restaurant with ring hidden in some sort of foodstuff, bottom of Christmas stocking, picnic on beach, etc.). However, I strongly object to this proposal on the grounds of lack of actual human contact. Take all that creative energy, and channel it into a proposal that allows you to look her in the eyes when she figures out what's happening, and share what I'm sure is an amazing kiss and embrace. I love me some internets, but I still like human interaction.
