Sen. Mark Warner’s Twitter proposal was a welcome break from gridlocked Washington politics — a cute, real time love story in 140 characters or fewer.
The Virginia Democrat’s feed hosted a bit of outside the beltway chatter yesterday, but Sen. Mark Warner’s Twitter proposal also managed to bring a bit of levity to political Twitter. As it turns out, Warner has a very hardworking press secretary named Beth Adelson.
But Sen. Warner’s Twitter proposal wasn’t from the lawmaker to Adelson — rather, the young man with whom the staffer is involved, Brett Wanamaker, created a Twitter account to tweet at his girlfriend’s boss with a simple and cute request that Adelson would surely not miss:
@markwarner Senator: your PressSecy pays more attn to this feed than her own – can I borrow this space for a minute?
— Brett Wanamaker (@Brett_Wanamaker) March 7, 2013
Sen. Warner replied, saying:
@brett_wanamakerCertainly. Best of luck!
— Mark Warner (@MarkWarner) March 7, 2013
To which Wanamaker replied:
@markwarner @bethaleh Beth Ellen Adelson, will you marry me?
— Brett Wanamaker (@Brett_Wanamaker) March 7, 2013
Adelson tweeted back:
@brett_wanamaker what is happening
— Beth Adelson (@bethaleh) March 7, 2013
Precisely what happened next with Sen. Mark Warner’s Twitter proposal was a matter between Adelson and Wanamaker — and her boss. But soon, Twitter learned:
MT @nwaghornap: She said yes RT @brett_wanamaker: @markwarner @bethaleh Beth Ellen Adelson, will you marry me? twitter.com/MarkWarner/sta…

Do you think Sen. Mark Warner’s Twitter proposal was sweet, or do you still prefer the old-fashioned, off social media way?
