Somebody for everyone

In what amounts to good news for me, it looks like even nerds can find someone to marry.

Ross Savedra fought aliens to rescue his girlfriend, then popped the question in an out-of-this-world proposal. Savedra, 32, staged his elaborate proposal Sunday afternoon for Ariana Ash, 23, with the help for family members and Roswell's UFO Museum.

Savedra and Ash were touring the museum when a silver-suited, masked alien from an exhibit called "alien autopsy" suddenly abducted Ash from in front of a group of tourists. Savedra dashed through the crowd, fought two aliens and rescued her.

Then he dropped to his knees, presented her a ring and asked her to marry him.

You'll be happy to know that she said yes. Of course she did. You never hear about someone planning out an elaborate public scenario to pop the question to his special lady, only to have her say, "You know, maybe this isn't the best time to tell you this, but I've been banging your best friend for the last two months, and I think we're in love."

That would be hilarious.
