Bejeweled Blitz inspires touching propsal |
Listed in: News Tags: Bejeweled, bejeweled blitz, love, popcap, shiny things
For those of you who have played Bejeweled and in that case, Hi Mum, have seen how beautiful and addictive the game can be. All those flashing gemeralds blinking and then disappearing and points racking up, it's a magical experience. So magical that Chris and Laura Sherrif thought that it was a perfect way to tie the knot. Well, I mean, it's gonna need a bit of explanation. Laura beat Chris' high score in Bejeweled Blitz, he, being a mature adult and not a child, found that wonderful and proposed to her.
PopCap heard about this when the story hit the interwebs hard, PopCap did the best thing possible...PopCap gave them an insanely huge faux diamond (with an official PopCap logo, of course). PopCap have been known for being awesome with charitable causes such as last week when a PopCap Shanghai employee was ill and was then crane bombed with a billion origami crane's showing up on his desk. Much like the Shanghai employee, word got around and before they knew it, the love was coming from PopCap.
Pop Cap released a lovely press release statement saying things better than I could:
The millions of Bejeweled Blitz players on Facebook get a lot out of the game, things like sixty second bursts of challenging excitement, mental stimulation, and fun with friends. But Laura Sheriff of Lexington Park, MD is probably the only one that used her prowess at the game to inspire a marriage proposal.
As the cheerful 26-year old explains it, "My husband, Chris, is a little bit of a video game nerd and he'd always said that the girl who managed to beat him at video games is the girl he would one day marry." Beating Chris was no mean feat though. "Chris is really into hardcore games like Call of Duty and Unreal Tournament so he's an experienced gamer. He almost always manages to beat me at Bejeweled Blitz but that one week, I was on fire." Laura grins and continues, "I racked up a score of over 600,000 which is a lot for me-my highest score ever is 775,000. Our computers are set up in the same room so we can actually sit side-by-side and compete head to head, not just online. I hit that score early in the week and then I watched as Chris tried and tried right up until the last minute to beat me. But he just couldn't top my score. The next day, he surprised me with a proposal, saying that he knew I was the one for him after I trounced him at Bejeweled Blitz." Eight months later they were married.
That's lovely and I always feel that when it comes to love that it's always to have someone who makes you better, even if it's just playing Bejeweled Blitz. I wish Chris and Lisa a long beautiful and shiny marriage.
