Will You Marry Me - at Home Depot?

From the video description:

Dustin arrived at the Home Depot in Salt Lake City thinking he was there to help his roommate pick out some lighting for a party. When he was taken to the lumber aisle, what he found waiting for him was a mob of friends and family as his marriage proposal unfolded to the song, "Somebody Loves You" by Betty Who.

So this is the 21st century, oh my. Many things I could say about this, but I'm just going keep quiet and reach for a Kleenex.


Update, 9/13: Joe Jervis says the source of the video is the singer's publicist, which makes me wonder if this was a real proposal or merely staged for the cameras. I did wonder where all the other customers and employees were, didn't you?

Isn't It Romantic

USA TODAY reports:

A Navy sailor returning from a six-month deployment emerged from his submarine, dropped to one knee and proposed to his boyfriend during the homecoming celebration in Connecticut for USS New Mexico.

About 200 people were gathered at the dock of the Naval Submarine Base New London where Machinist's Mate Jerrel Revels proposed to Dylan Kirchner. Kirchner said he had thought about getting married but the proposal Monday came as a surprise.

"I didn't really care everybody was around. It felt just like the two of us," Kirchner said.

The couple has not set a wedding date.

Sweet. Of course, your Head Trucker looks forward to the day when this sort of thing will not be at all newsworthy.
