"Would you kindly marry me?" Justin Starnes asked Stevie Kopas, via a game box he designed for 'Bioshock: New Beginnings'

Starnes designed the cover based on how the couple got together three years ago.

"I was nervous and even though I already owned a copy of Bioshock, I bought another copy just so I had an excuse to go in and talk to him again," Kopas said on the Imgur account where she uploaded the box.

Starnes did a complete job on the design - from a controller layout guide:

To using photos of the couple for the cover's back art.

All to pop the big question:

Mind control, the bedrock to any solid relationship.

And of course, what is a proposal without a ring?

Kopas evidently said yes, proclaiming, "If a man doesn't know his lady's favourite video game series, then I don't know what type of man that is."
