# Real-Life Twitter Proposals Deadmau5 Proposed to Kat Von D on the Popular Social Media Platform By Kyle Towers | Published 2012-12-16 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twitter-proposal References: [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/perpetua/deadmau5-proposed-to-kat-von-d-on-twitter) & [twitter](https://twitter.com/deadmau5) Joel Thomas Zimmerman (better known as Deadmau5) has successfully landed the tattoo artist/reality TV star Kat Von D as his bride to be via a [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-bell-wedding-1) proposal. Joel also included a [JPG of the ring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nontraditional-engagement-ring) so she can print it off her computer and put it on her fridge. Deadmau5 almost proves he is more mouse than man with his timid Twitter proposal. The spectacle comes after the two publicly split just last month which was also partially broadcasted on Twitter. Hopefully with the sanctity of a Twitter proposal, she doesn’t soon become Deadmau5’ temporary tattoo artist and the marriage actually works out. What happened to the days when we would ask for marriage over MSN Messenger? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Social Media Proposals:** Develop new and innovative ways to propose marriage on social media platforms like Twitter - **Celebrity Social Media Endorsement:** Target influencers to promote your product or service on social media - **Social Media Relationship Management:** Develop strategies to manage relationships on social media and create meaningful interactions with followers ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Wedding Industry:** Create social media marketing campaigns around weddings and events, including proposals and engagements on platforms like Twitter - **Social Media Management:** Develop products or services that help individuals and businesses manage their social media presence, including relationship management - **Jewelry Industry:** Integrate social media into marketing campaigns to showcase jewelry and reach target audience, particularly for proposal and engagement rings ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fast-Food Metaverse Ceremonies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-bell-wedding-1.md) - [Inclusive NFT Marriages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/closeup-city-hall.md) - [Metaverse Wedding Ceremonies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metaverse-wedding.md) - [Iconically Located Wedding Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/times-square-this-valentines.md) - [Hard Soda Nuptials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hard-dew-i-do.md) - [Onion Ring Proposals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onion-ring-proposal.md) - [Pet-Inspired Proposal Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engaged-couples.md) - [Engagement Ring Claw Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engagement-moment.md) - [Co-Branded Wedding Invitation Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-invitation-suite.md)
