Awwww, that's cute.

My early muir owl...cute.

Hah, I'm friends with them! And another friend of mine took a lot of the photos in the video.

They're a great couple, and George is an incredibly creative guy. This is one of his personal best, though.

Is there a joke hidden in there? I'm saying it over and over again to myself....

Aw.. I got goosebumps.

Mix up the letters, TPS!

I love how everything in Chicago and NYC is done with a strap over one shoulder.

TPS, if you mix up the letters it spells will you marry me.

Ah, OK.

How did she know the proposal was meant for her? I didn't see her name on it anywhere, did I miss it?

Well, her boyfriend was on one knee with a ring.. I assumed that was how she knew.

Duh ... I didn't even see that part. I liked watching it but not enough to watch it again to see it!

Hahah, I fast forwarded through most of it...

Look at these fruits, these flowers, these leaves, these branches

And look at this heart of mine that only beats for you

Please do not tear it apart with your white soft hands

Please let this humble gift be sweet under your eyes.

(...)

Please let my head rest upon your breasts
My head that still echoes with the sound of your last kiss
Let it reach stillness after that sweet storm
And let me dream for a while -- as long as you sleep.

The best part was that he put another "viewing window" at waist height, so that he'd have an excuse to get down on one knee surreptitiously. Well planned and well excecuted! (All though it looked a little bit like "Will you mass yme", which doesn't make any sense.

Feeling denser than the foam installation. I unscrambled my early muir owl, Serge Gandaora and I tuba fuel, but still a little unclear on what she was seeing in the video. Did the positioning of where you stood make it so that you read the foam letters unscrambled, me3dia? Or did the viewer just unscramble them herself with prodding from the artist?

(I know, I know, I always seem to kill the mood. I never got those 3D posters either.)

unscrambled.... Serge Gandaora and I tuba fuel

?? Those are jokes, too! Help me out! Today has been one of those days :-\

PY, the perspective from the "viewing window" made the apparently randomly shaped foamcore pieces line up to spell out "will you marry me?" It's approximately the view you see at the end of the Installation portion of the video. The letters are strangely shaped in part to conceal the message.

The scrambled "artist's name" and piece title were just part of the ruse.

Thanks! I rewinded at a few spots to see if I had missed something but maybe I should have paused at the magic moment instead. Explanation appreciated!

I'm surprised this isn't getting more props here. It almost made me cry. I dunno, maybe it was just the Sigur Ros, but I thought that was pretty cool, and I don't even like the whole "get down on one knee & propose" thing. Though, I agree, having her name in it would have made more sense. Still, it's very neat that it's just random scrambled nonsense until you look at it from a certain angle, and she thinks it's just a random art opening but the whole thing was set up to express this to her. Presuming, of course, that it's what she wants, which is always the semi-weird discomfiting factor of proposals to start with that I'm unsure about, that the woman can feel obliged to accept something when it's a big show that she wouldn't have if it were a small private decision. But if we take that as ok to start with, this is a very well done, creative, original and personal proposal.

Pet peeve: calling it a "wedding proposal" and not a "marriage proposal." Cute, though.

Yeah - that made me well up a little bit.
