Raichu cosplayer uses Marriage Proposal

November 14th, 2009 at 08:05am Under DS

When Chris Herbert decided to pop the question to his girlfriend of three years, Belle Starenchak, he picked the most romantic place he could think of: Anime Weekend Atlanta, with both dressed as Pokemon. It … kind of makes sense for them.

Belle, or “PikaBelleChu,” is featured in the Guinness Book of World Records: Gamer Edition for her massive Pikachu memorabilia collection, and Herbert met her by staging a Pokemon auction. So while we might be tempted to laugh, it would seem that the pursuit of ‘em all is a major component of this couple’s lives.

And now that they’ve done this — a proposal in Pikachu and Raichu outfits, all floppy fake mouse ears on their hats and yellow glove slipped off to try on the ring that came out of the Pokeball — we believe that the world’s quota for Pokemon-themed proposals has just been filled.

Last Thursday, Brad Smith proposed to his girlfriend of five years using a hacked version of Super Mario World, placing coins in world 1-1 to spell out, “Will you marry me?” Cute, right? But we have to question Brad’s filming of the occasion, because, if we didn’t know better, we’d think the couple was being watched by a serial killer hiding behind their couch. You can see what we mean after the break.

Seriously — tell us that, when the camera pulls back to catch Brad on his knee, ring in hand, you don’t want to yell out, “Look out! There’s someone else in the room!” Or maybe it’s just the close proximity to Halloween that’s got us all on edge. Still … Brad, if you’re reading this, please drop us a line to let us know you’re alright?
