In case you haven't heard of Tumblr, it is a social media blogging tool with a heavy and passionate community. Some of us on the OurWeddingDay team even use the website for personal use. So imagine our joy and glee when we logged in last night to see our dashboard (where all Tumblr users are taken once they login) with a giant wedding proposal at the top!
Justin, not only announced his proposal to the entire Tumblr community, but he also included an adorable video (embedded above) just in case she had to think about her answer.

Grant Robertson, self proclaimed Internet celeb and lead blogger for Download Squad, proposed to his girlfriend (professional blogger for TUAW, Download Squad, and StyleList) over Twitter, a popular mobile "status update" microblogging service. She affirmed with a tweet response after the notification hit her mobile device a minute later, broadcasting the proposal to all of their followers, approximately 5,000 people. There have been other instances of Twitter proposals that have been positively received— perhaps this is a sign for things to come!
