Pawoot Pongvitayapanu was nervously sitting in front of his computer. The managing director of e-commerce company Tarad.com, Pom as he’s commonly known, has a big suprise for his girlfriend of six years, Komkamon Sri-ien or Em. He was goig to propose using technology. Pom had roped in Em’s boss for his grand plan last August. The latter was tasked to instruct Em to attend a presentation at a cafe. On the day of the meeting, however, she got wary when her boss stalled for time. Pom also had not contacted her for days, which was suspicious. As the presentation began, Em’s computer screen went blank and resumed with the message, “Miss Kornkamon Sri-ien, please click at the bottom of the screen.” Em thought it was the client’s marketing strategy, and pressed a key. A cartoon appeared with the message, “Have you been lonely lately?”

Then a second picture appeared with the message, “Let’s get married!” The final image had two choices: “Yes” and “No”. Em knew this was Pom’s doing so she clicked “No”. Nothing happened. She had no choice but to click “Yes”. Skype kicked in and Em saw herself and Pom on the screen. He declared, “I am ready to take care of you. Please marry me.” Pom, who was waiting close by, went over to Em and presented her with a bouquet of flowers, saying, “Let’s get married”.

Over 1500 people witnessed the online proposal, including Pom’s parents, who had prepared a video clip to welcome their future daughter-in-law. “I’m not a romantic guy but I like to be over the top and I enjoy making my ideas come true,” said Pom.
