A creative consultant from Los Angeles decided not to follow any stereotypical way of asking a woman to marry him, but proposed to his girlfriend in front of thousands of followers on Twitter.
Curt Buthman uploaded a short video of him asking his partner Marsha Collier to marry him while she conducted an online discussion with Twitter users about customer service, the Daily Mail reported.
He used an app that allows people to upload videos of up to six seconds.
It caught the woman's attention, and she immediately accepted his very modern proposal.
When she was bombarded with the question, she initially tweeted: "Um, wow!! OMG RT @curtbuthman: @marshacollier I love you! #WillYouMarryMe <3 #custserv"
But then she quickly accepted his proposal, writing: "Um, uh, YES @curtbuthman - I will MARRY YOU! #custserv."
