Hearing Baby We're Going Down -- Fall Out Boy
So this boy geek met this girl geek, and knew that it was love: “On our fourth date, I knew I had found the kind of dork I could love,” he said. So he decided to propose via something the two of them loved doing together: The Sunday crossword puzzle:
[Aric] Egmont, 29, who works in the communications department at Fidelity Investments, contacted the magazine this summer to ask if the people who create the puzzles would be willing to write a special one for him. Sunday mornings for he and Bass, he said, have always included tackling the Globe magazine crossword, a tradition that started early in their relationship...
Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon, a married puzzle-writing team who have been writing Globe magazine crossword puzzles for years, accepted Egmont’s challenge. Their puzzle was titled “Popping the question,” and each theme entry was a variation on proposals. For example, “Macrame artist’s proposal” was “Let’s tie the knot.”
Not to ruin it for you, but she said 'yes.' I think this is a fairly cute story. And it's a good thing when geek pair off so happily. I do wonder if any other crossword-completeing couples took advantage of the proposal, however. Because that would be even cuter.
Here's the crossword in question. Have fun with it, even if you know the answers to some of the clues already.
