For all you sapsters, James Mielke, editor for 1UP.com/Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM) has an entry up on his blog in which he details the insane lengths he went to in proposing to his now-fiance Joy. Both Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu and artist Yoshitaka Amano have a role in the scheme -- much like the Man proposes with Chrono Trigger story, it's quite a good and heartwarming read.

Around these parts (and by parts I mean at 1UP), everyone's known I would be going to Paris for quite some time. Why? Because I wouldn't shut up about it. Hell, when you've been at this company as long as I have (with Jeff Green having recently departed, it makes Sam Kennedy and I the old-school veterans, with around 9 years under our belts each) you really look forward to the rare moments when you can take a long-enough break in between magazine deadlines and online responsibilities that keep you hustlin' all year 'round. But this vacation would be something special; something I'd been planning for over a year, and most specifically over the last four or five months. You see, I was planning to propose to my girlfriend, Joy, during our vacation in Paris for her birthday. What you need to know about me, in case you haven't gleaned this from the work I put into 1UP and EGM, is that I don't do anything half-assed. If I'm going to propose to my girlfriend, I'm going to propose like a champ. Here's the lengths to which I went to make this event the most incredible one ever.
