A well known geek friend of mine proposed to his then girlfriend via either IRC or a bulletin board talker system (can't remember which) around that time (possibly a bit earlier) too.. Old news.. :-) Just over 10 years ago I went to the wedding of some friends of mine who had met via IRC a few years earlier (he lived in the US, she was then at Aberystwyth in Wales, where I was).
