I'm all for romance and love my dose of Mill and Boons; so the following story tugs my heartstrings and I must share it with you. It goes to show that geeks can be romantic too…Lord there's hope for the rest of us! Computer programmer Bernie Peng reprogrammed his girlfriend Tammy Li's favorite video game, "Bejeweled," so a ring and a marriage proposal would show up on the screen when she reached a certain score. As if the unique proposal was not enough, the cute couple is flying over to Seattle courtesy PopCap, as a part of their Honeymoon.

"Most video game companies would frown on people manipulating their games," said Garth Chouteau, a spokesman for PopCap. "But it won him a woman. As a bunch of geeks we have to say, 'Bernie, hats off to you.'" The Seattle-based company will also supply copies of "Bejeweled" to hand out as favors to the wedding guests.
