Proposal

Google codejam ended and was won by ACrush. I think he is a monster.

Early in the morning, I got woken up by loud chatter. I was too tired to check it out but I thought it was a funeral on-going. Now that I am more awake, I found out that it was related to a wedding. This reminded me part of a newspaper article (ACM ICPC world finals 2004 was held in Prague).

Furrow recalls traveling the world to compete. The competitions helped him land his job at Google. And that’s also how he met his fiancee, also a Google engineer.

They were competing in Prague in 2004, both on Canadian teams. They worked together during part of the competition. "We hit it off right away," Furrow said.

The two got engaged a few weeks ago.

How did Furrow propose?

He didn’t.

"It was very 21st century," Furrow said. "We went for a walk at work. At one point she stopped me and asked, 'Will you marry me?’ ... I had been ready for a while. I was pretty seriously considering proposing myself. She beat me to it."
