MORRISTOWN, N.J. - He reprogrammed her favourite video game so a ring and a marriage proposal would pop up when his girlfriend reached a certain score.

And, on Saturday, computer programmer Bernie Peng married Tammy Li in a New Jersey ceremony and reception replete with references to Li's favourite game, "Bejeweled."

^ A marriage that could even bring a tear to the IT gods.

Now what would've been really nifty is if the disc tray ejected a ring as she reached that score.

Morristown is my old stomping grounds.

The thing is that she probably had no idea it was coming. So she's there playing her game as usual, gets a certain score, and out pops the proposal. I assume sure he did his homework to find out what score she typically gets.
