I’ve met Lee before at a business conference held here in Wellington, NZ.

Really nice guy but I know nothing about his personal life so can’t help about this little occasion.

@H on Sun

YEah, that’s the whole point. It’s sweet if you know them, which none of the people there did.

@Ed, it fits into Macenstein because it happened at an Apple Store opening. Had he proposed at the Pre launch, no story.

I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one who finds public proposals more manipulative than romantic.

LW – Yes it is Lee from Rennaissance.

It’s very sweet if you know their actual story as opposed to what you’ve printed here.

If I met a woman who was willing to fly across the world to attend an Apple event, I would marry her on principle.

I wonder if that is the same Lee Herbet that works/worked for Renaissance here in New Zealand who used to be the official Apple NZ but now they’re not because Apple is now the official Apple NZ?

It kind of looks like him.

@darrell, yeah, I’ve already had three people close to me who have divorced. Good luck to this couple anyway!

I found some of the craziest YouTube videos are of public proposals turned down. Check this one out: http://cnettv.cnet.com/marriage-proposal-turned-down/9742-1_53-50008856.html

Just wait until he upgrades to the newest model next year, like any good Mac person does. She’ll know to clear of such nerds.

@Ed – i’ve been following the docs rants for about a year now and this seems like a macenstein story when you attach the cynical commentary.

i do hope the marriage lasts though. lots of public proposals (mostly at sporting events) are usually accepted to simply get out of the awkward situation.
