Will You Marry Me?
Thursday, 15th March 2007 by James Turnbull
Here on a rooftop in Des Moines, Iowa we find the messaage "Becky will U marry me? Chris". Now we don't mean to be cruel, but we're hoping that Becky went with "No".
You see, as we've previously defined, here at Google Sightseeing we have a set of strict rules about when someone should accept a marriage proposal from Google Earth1.
Of our rules, the single most important question is this: did your prospective partner bother to spell the out the word "you" in full? If they couldn't even be bothered putting in the effort to do just two more letters, then... well, you know what to do 😉

Mind you, if you happen to be an inanimate computer program and Google Earth ever gets down on one knee... we'd advise a definite "Yes" - that boy is a popular download! ↩︎
C’mon, ya gotta give the guy credit for not having any backwards letters. =)
OMG OLDDDD!!!!!ONEELEVEN!!!1

I agree… it’s not like Chris didn’t have enough room for the two extra letters… if he’s taking shortcuts now, what’s he going to be like later down the road… hehe…
Google Earth, will you marry me? – I.C.P.
Becky could have made a reply with the missing letters…. O… Y?
I just wonder… how Chris knew that the area will be pictured and shown on Google Earth :S Hmm… maybe they just took a tour in a helicopter.
Yes or No?
HELLO! FOR THE RECORD SHE SAID YES, I PROPOSED APRIL 1ST 2006 AND WE ARE NOW MARRIED AS OF APRIL 1ST 2007, A NICE BEACH WEDDING ON THE BEACH IN FLORIDA. JUST IMMEDIATE FAMILY. I WAS NOT EXPECTING ANY MEDIA COVERAGE. I GUESS I DIDN’T THINK OF GOOGLE AT THE TIME. WE TOOK A 4 PERSON PUDDLE JUMPER PLANE OUT OF ANKENY AIRFIELD. AND I WAS SO NERVOUS I FORGOT WHICH POCKET I HAD THE RING IN. AND IT WAS NOT A MATTER OF ROOM, IT WAS A MATTER OF AMOUNT OF PAINT. I USED A LATEX WATER BASE, HOPING THE RAIN WOULD WASH IT OFF, BUT AFTER A YEAR AND A MONTH, IT IS STILL UP THERE. FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME IF YOU WANT TO SEE WEDDING PHOTOS!!!!
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO WRITE IN CAPITALS?
