Marrying Man of June 2006: Love at First "Site"
Posted by AMIT SUTHAR
We had many excellent entries for June's Marrying Man of the Month, but it was the innovative e-proposal of Mr. Dave Garr that took our breath away-both with laughter and sentiment. Like a lovelorn Stephen Colbert, Garr's deadpan irony and self-deprecation throughout his spoof on Eharmony.com makes for a most hilarious, creative, and inventive online proposal. As you click through the elaborate site, Garr parodies everyone from Dr. Phil to Cliff's Notes, all while articulating the qualities of his beautiful bride. Leaving no internet tool unturned, Garr uses Google maps to document their dating history, a side-splitting slideshow of blooper courting moments, and the crowning touch: a "Geeksta" Rap in which the groom busts a move to extol the wonders of his lovely bride Elizabeth. Needless to say, she said yes, and you can find a continuing chronicle of their wedded adventures at http://daveloveselizabeth.blogs.com/.
In his blog, Garr makes no mention of what groomsmen gifts he gave out, but he does talk about playing golf during his Hawaiian Honeymoon. For fellow golf-lovers, check out our golf-themed groomsmen gifts right here at https://branddepot.com/collections/groomstand.
