Default Cheesiest Proposal Ever?

Andy met Kayla on a flickr themed forum at a time where they lived 2300 miles apart. Both loved photography and that common love grew into, well, a common love.Andy decided to formalize their relationship by asking for her hand in marriage. How would he do it? He knew photography would have to play a role since that was what had brought them together in the first place. So he....well, let's let him tell the story:

Andy and Kayla

It may not be the cheesiest proposal in history, but it's in the running.

That's not cheesy, it's quite original compared to a lot of proposals.

Geeky, maybe, but not cheesy.

Lensbaby SLR Camera Lenses They're kinda fun. I have an older one.

And I think that's a very cute proposal... I'd rather get a ring in a lens than a ring box

Lensbabies may be every bit as cheesy as this proposal. Make a cheap lens with adjustments kind of like a really bad view camera so that parts of the image, but never all of it, are in focus, call it "artistic" and charge an outrageous amount for it; that's a Lensbaby. Though for all my disparaging comments, I'd really like to have one. Some of the effect are quite nice.
Back to the OP, I wonder if she got the Lensbaby with the ring or just the ring? And was the ring in the lens when he took her picture? I wonder how that turned out. Probably turned out extra-artistic. (Ah, my jealousy is showing again.)
