I just wanted to let all you know, that I am now engaged to be married to my beautiful girlfriend, Yisha.
Why am I posting this here, at a search blog? Well, because of the way I did it.
I proposed via Ask Jeeves. I brought Yisha to my office, ask her to search on her name. While she was doing that I kneeled behind her with the ring and flowers. She typed in her name into Ask Jeeves, full name, and up came a special Smart Answer (thanks to Jim Lanzone and team) with the proposal.
I don't have much time to explain it, so go to the idea page for more information.
Also try rustybrick engagement for some other smart searches.
Thanks again to Jim Lanzone, Scott Grieder, Steve Orr, Daniel Read, and the whole Ask Jeeves team!

Dude that's really sweet and original. I would have never thought about that... but now even if I would, I'll never be the first ever to propose via a Search Engine ( unless I'd become friends to Larry, Sergey or Eric ). Congrats!

Too bad you did it on askjeeves.com a search engine nobody in the world ever uses. a lame search engine = lame marriage.

Fun, but not romantic at all... ;-) Men do many errors when doing their proposal. For a creative marriage proposal in Paris, France, let me suggest you our website http://www.proposeinparis.com Nicolas, founder of "Propose in Paris"
