Apple Store Proposal

The Apple retail store on 5th Avenue in New York City opened recently, and as it was the first 24 hour Apple store, they have had a camera recording the first 24 hours of what was going on around the store, and interestingly enough, around 5am, a man walks on to the screen and using three signs he proposed to his girlfriend.

The update on the whole situation is that James, the man holding the signs, got the answer he was hoping for, and Uschi, his girlfriend, said yes.

At 4:30 am, he snuck out of bed without Uschi noticing it and headed back to the Apple Store. Based on the timing of the time-lapse video already posted on Apple's site, James stood with the signs for about 15 minutes (5 minutes per sign) to ensure that they were visible in the video.
A few days later, James set up a "romantic trail of candles" leading up to his G5, showed Uschi the video -- which she had not seen despite some coverage on the web -- and she of course said "yes".
