A few years ago, we saw a bunch of Asian American flash mob wedding proposals. Now we have an internet proposal of sorts. Not quite the Internet Meme proposal.
On Saturday, February 9, 2013 at 3:15pm PST, after 4+ years of dating, Jon Park proposed to his girlfriend Genevieve Wong. Given that they both work in social media (her – Twitter, him – Facebook), he wanted to leverage both platforms in the proposal. Needless to say, it involved some coordination among all of their friends and family.
To briefly summarize the plan, after a day of wandering through the Dogpatch and Mission Districts of San Francisco, they found ourselves “unexpectedly” meeting their friends at Dolores Park. What the video doesn’t capture is that immediately after he stepped away from the group, three of her coworkers bombed her phone with tweets telling her to watch a video. The rest is history.
