The Best Of The #SayYesKatie Proposal Meme

Chicagoan Len Kendall used Buzzfeed to get a wife Wednesday by starting a meme-based proposal. He posted the photo above of himself kneeling with a ring with LOLspeak. Plus the note, "Katie, I love you so much. Will you marry me?"
He also added the photo with a blank background and an editor's note saying, "Help him out by leaving an image in the comments persuading her to say yes and making Len the happiest man in the whole internets!"
Kendall let the internet take it from there, creating these mashups of Len and various "internet stars." There are hundreds in the comments of the original post.
And most importantly... it worked! Katie said yes. Good choice on the date, too. You'll only have to celebrate your anniversary once every four years.
