This is a cute story:
A guy spent a month coding a custom DS version of his girlfriend's favorite game, Bejeweled. Once she hit a certain score in his homebrew effort, a marriage proposal would appear on-screen.
The company that makes the game thinks it's cool and is paying for them to honeymoon in Seattle.

That would make a great hook for BAM Pay for Your Wedding Week.
What would he have done, though, if she hadn't reached the appropriate score? I guess he must have set it at a point he knew she could achieve.
FWIW elwing is a big fan of the PC version. Me not so much.

You could change the programming to say "Happy Anniversary."
