My wife did almost this exact same thing to me with Magic cards. She asked if I wanted to play a game, then waited for me to leave the room and hid the ring in the middle of the deck. I came back and picked up the deck and, before I could register the lump of metal between my cards, I began to shuffle, dropping the ring onto the carpet! Lol
Could someone explain for an old geezer who came of age long before Pokemon? Is there a significance to the sequence of cards she reads out loud that spells it out, or would the last card just have the proposal written out?
That was among the most awkward, nauseatingly sweet, adorable proposals I've seen. Forget all that grand standing, giant billboard at a stadium proposals. This. Sweet. Adorable moment of intimate loving people. He did it while they were doing something they enjoy together. That's the way to do it gents. Take notes. He did it while doing something she enjoyed. Not something he drags her to. You could see the excitement lighten up her eyes before it fully reached her whole face. She's in love
Agreed! My (now wife) and I love geocaching… so when it came time to pop the question we went to look for a cache and I hid it in a random wall crevice when she wasn’t looking. Made for a great moment for us.
I’ve played PoGo with my daughter and that’s about it. I have no idea how he used character cards to propose unless he somehow made fake cards with a message or something. Either way, this was sweet, they look happy, more people should feel that way every day.
Most likely this. There are tons of programs to make custom cards that are free to use (mostly used to make memes), and people do commissions for painted cards all the time. There's a fairly big art scene using pokemon cards as a base, either for things like this or anniversary paintings, or custom art for their kids. All kinds of stuff!
The interest my wife and I share is craft beer. Before kids, we'd go to or host bottle shares almost weekly. Made a lot of friends, tried some incredibly rare beers from all over the world. But thats not a hobby you can involve the kids in. Next best thing is to have some of those friends over who also have kids and slowly imbibe on a few select beers while the kids play.
sorry, but if she didnt catch that obvious stack swap he did she isnt wife material! How can you rely on her to not get scammed at the card shop? What a ridiculous bar for love I am setting. Why am I even typing this? And why, for the love of all that is good in the world are you still reading this? Downvote it after the first 5 words and move on!
they both opened packs, and he said, lets swap. While saying that he moves his stack he pulled off camera and clearly swaps it, or at least ads the proposal card. She even asks "You didnt look at your yet?" Its not uncommon for people to buy packs and while opening them trade because they feel theirs isnt lucky, or the other one is, or whatever. I have opened a LOT of card packs.
It's kind a been my theme for Christmas gifts to my friends. They get something with my face on it. First year was card sleeves. I think this year it my be a shirt
Ah, come on. I though I was going to be your vice-president. You know, the president of vice. I'm just reaching out to the deranged and depraved parts of our constituency.
So... That is an interesting Pokemon you've chosen and now I'm wondering if you've heard about "the thing" or if that was just an unfortunate choice of Pokemon.

MelodyLightfoot
They are opening booster packs of cards and showing what they got, dude did a sneaky and added a fake card with a proposal on it.
Sheldonian
nachosyndicate
Ok, I’m confused. Did he make a special card? Or is there a Pokémon card I don’t know about?
gatormarc
Found the video on YouTube. Here's the card:
Salvroth
Correct

The card probably said something like will you marry me. And then he did it the formal way.
nachosyndicate
Awesome! I missed the Pokemon train.

i think they're opening cards and having a "pack battle" to see who pulls the better card.
qazxswedcvfrtgbnhyujmkiol
This. And he swapped packs with her and went first to ensure she got his card and the moment would be more surprising. I love it.
BishlamekGurpgork
Yeah, but did he stack a fake card in the deck, or what?

there's people that do custom cards with custom artwork or he could of just written on an existing card, it worked.

it looks like they both got some pretty shitty cards, except for the girl who got one decent one. average day in the life with TCGs

Theres nothing better than sharing hobbies/interests with your SO. Except after you have kids and you can't both go to that event.
Sorrontis
Bring the kids!

Exactly! My son and I have been going to cons together since he was maybe 12. He’s about to turn 21 and we still go.

Sorrontis
share no interest with my wife. we're an odd couple
nevercompromisenoteven
So your recommendation for couples that share interestes would be to not have kids? Nice! Now all I need is a girlfriend!

What stack swap he litterally said I want to trade.

One of my best friends commissioned a custom MtG card to ask a girl to be his girlfriend last year. It 100% worked.
