Man Proposes Using iPhone Application, Woman Says Yes

by Dan Reilly on October 27, 2008 at 01:30 PM


A few months ago, we told about you told you about eight men who proposed using tech. Now, we can add yet another geek to the list. Dan Deeble, a 35-year-old IT supervisor from Antelope, CA, popped the question using Scribular, a free iPhone app that works with the phone's GPS to let users leave notes at specific locations. Once somebody gets to the location, they can read the note, which is how Deeble got his girlfriend, Crystal Gardner, to go on a scavenger hunt around Sacramento.

It started with a Post-it note in her car, telling her to use Scribular on her way to work. For the rest of the day, she drove around finding different notes -- read them here -- that all ended with "p.s. - I love you." The phrase comes from the movie of the same name, about a woman getting love letters from her deceased husband, which was the first movie Deeble and Gardner saw together. At the end of the day, the couple met at a restaurant where a phone call from her sister prompted her to read the final note: "Almost one year ago, I found you -- and I found love.... I ask if you will grant me the greatest privilege of my life and marry me. Forever yours, Dan." She responded "of course I will," and techies around the globe got another idea for romance.
