Man Uses Internet Memes for Marriage Proposal [VIDEO]

Like a boss, a man recently interrupted his girlfriend's dinner to propose to her with Internet memes.

Timothy Tiah Ewe Tiam sneaked up on his long-time love interest Audrey Ooi Feng Ling at Neroteca, a restaurant in Malaysia, and began showing her poster-sized printed memes such as Socially Awkward Penguin, Y U NO Guy, Victory Baby and Impossibru.

Her initial reaction as the man she calls "Fatty" flipped through the first few meme posters: "Oh god please don’t let this be a break up WTF," she said in an entertaining blog post days after the proposal.

At the end of the meme-ridden surprise, he knelt and confessed, "I'm very nervous and terrified about this, but I love you and I think you're my soul mate. And I can't see myself living without you in my life. ... Will you marry me?" Watch the video from Crazy Monkey Studio to see whether she said yes or no.

This isn't the first time someone has turned to tech or the web to propose. In January, a Cincinnati man used Groupon to get engaged. In San Francisco in fall 2010, a man leveraged Twitter, Foursquare and live streaming mobile service Qik to propose. Other people also have used social media outlets -- a tweet on Twitter, a checkin on Foursquare and Google's Street View -- to put a ring on it.

More recently, a New York City woman used a Nexus One and the Google Maps mobile app to complete a scavenger hunt that ended with a marriage proposal. The gallery below gives a glimpse of how that unfolded.
