A bold move by Lindsay Loree, the geeky wedding proposal revolved around the [trading card game, Magic: The Gathering](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-the-gathering-x-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles). She created her own custom card dubbed 'Proposal' and slipped it into the deck so that she could gain the power to propose to her boyfriend, Eric. Making the geeky proposal official with a [ring pop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brilliant-earth), it was a success. Of course, Eric still has his own two cents to put in, "Now, there was a little cheating on her part.
