We've seen successful and doomed romances through Nintendo apps in the past, from marriage proposals made via Swapnote to a love that died too soon on Miiverse. Just recently, though, a rather charming example has emerged through StreetPass, as the big question was asked from one 3DS owner to another.
Shared by Nintendo UK, Andrew Hannay posted photos of his proposal to Nicky via StreetPass hits. Now, if we've got this right, he'll have had to wait for the personal reply in a follow-up hit, so if his partner didn't tell him face to face right away the tension would have been rather intense.
Thankfully the answer was also 'Fantastic' when Andrew asked what Nicky thought of him - an accidental "OK, I guess..." might have been awkward.
It's charming to see StreetPass used for such an important point in a couple's lives - Nintendo power of a different kind.

To be fair, I think there is at least two other examples of marriage proposals via video games that I can think of. One was a rom-hack of Chrono Trigger, and the other was a Super Mario Maker stage.
Either way, congratulations to the happy couple.
Should have put "Wii U marry me?"
@RadioShadow They don't want to doom their relationship zing
They have to explain StreetPass over and over for the rest of their lives when people ask how he proposed!
I think it's awesome.
@SanderEvers That's true haha.
Using StreetPass for a proposal reminds me of the tongue-in-cheek/joke pickup line, "Do you believe in love at first sight or do I have to pass you by again?"...
