Did We Just Witness a Twitter Marriage Proposal?
March 21, 2008 - 2:16 am PDT - by Stan Schroeder 34 CommentsForget statistics and pageviews; marriage proposals, folks, are what really cements a web service as a part of our everyday life. Now, we’ve seen Twitter on CSI, but I don’t remember seeing anyone propose to someone over it.
Until now, that is. Apparently, Max Kiesler has proposed to Emily Chang over Twitter (took him fifteen years, sheesh). And she said yes! If this is real - and I see no reason why it wouldn’t be - Mashable wishes you guys many more years of geeky bliss. See the tweet screenshots below.

How sweet.
That is certainly one way to make a proposal the whole world can see.
Make it last Emily and Max.
One way to tell the world they are going to get married. They don’t have to call or email anyone to tell this fantastic news. Congrats to Emily and Max
Any wagers on how long for the first divorce?
@Rummble
Think they’ll have a divorce through Twitter, too?
Seriously though, congrats to the both of them, after fifteen years probably nothing will break them apart.
Hoax, I’d say.
god bless them
@Datrio, I would say that this is what can break them apart - marriage.
Wish you guys the best (:
“After fifteen years of blissful happiness I would like to ask for your hand in marriage?”
Sorry. Something doesn’t add up here.
And it ends with a question mark?
I actually saw this happen again a few months ago between a couple online, it looked pretty legit. Just can’t find the posts.
Congratulations!
cool!
In this age of social networks…that was totally cute! Yall need a DJ for the wedding?
Probably a stunt or a joke but it’s cool. Call me a traditionalist but I think that this should always be done in person with a ring in hand, though. Doing it over the Internet takes a lot of the romance out of it.
Where is the Twitter on “I’m dumping you for your brother” or “hey, you knocked me up”??
dude, she doesn’t look a day over 20. When did they start dating when she was 5? I call BS.
I had a friend reporting via Twitter throughout her labor and the birth of her child earlier this week. It was very interesting!
Boo, I say to all you naysayers. BOO!
I think it’s awesome. Crazy awesome.
not sure if it’s real, sounds bs or very geeky… anyway congrats
@sbostedor: Amen! I met my husband online in a chat room in 1995, but I think there are some things that should still be done offline: sex, proposals, and death (not necessarily in that order), although I’m sure my husband would be disappointed if all sex were kept offline.
The web is so romantic! Congratulations.
Not the first time. I was proposed to last year on Twitter.
i’ve seen numerous twitter proposals and even announcements of break-ups..
ex.. i just broke up with my girl..
anyone out there wanna drink? (that girl got numerous twits after the announcement and lonely no more).
Idiotic.
Actually, the first Twitter proposal (that we know about) happened on March 2, 2008, when @garazi proposed to @stefsull.

We even talked about it during our interview at SxSW, which you can see here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=kurgGobobqQ
Don’t know for sure, but Shannon just asked Rachel to marry him on Geek Brief.
This is definitely not the first. I was proposed to via twitter in September 2007 and I was told that there was one more before me.

Next up, the divorce via twitter!
possibly a joke?
I didn’t propose on Twitter, but I did tweet that I was about to ask her and then tweeted her response.
This was a year ago.

I met my (now) fiancee on Twitter back in May 2007.
We announced it on Twitter, after Tweeting my journey 10,500 miles to Australia to see her.
