Crossword Puzzle Proposals

1 / 7

This weekend, Corey Newman used the Sunday Washington Post crossword puzzle to propose to his girlfriend, Marlowe Epstein. It was a sweet proposal that managed to be a sentimental private moment, while still being a public grand gesture (it was filmed and written about in The Washington Post). Maybe after all the techy proposals of late, popping the question is going old school? Newman is the latest fella to use word nerd-ery for asking "Will you marry me?", but he definitely wasn't the first. Let's look back at some of the other crossword puzzle proposals that have made headlines.

Yea, love it! And I was surprised Jon Stewart used one for his proposal, too! Too cute.

Jon Stewart proposed with a crossword puzzle?? Just when I thought he couldn't get any more nerd-cool...

Just enough cute and nerdy, but clever as well!

I'm all for this nerdy display of love.
