Congratulations to Jess and Colin. Jess is even cuter than the kitteh. Which is a good thing.

Happy Birthday to Me!

And the kitty needs to be the Best Feline at the wedding.
Perhaps whoever is performing the wedding could ask for the rings, and they be attached to a catnip mouse the kitty is carrying? 
Congratulations again, Jess, Colin and kitty!

The cat is thinking
::OMFG this means CAT TREATS as wedding GIFTS!::
Lots of happiness to you!
congrats on your engagement and thank you for letting the rest of us share in the joyous event.
here is a bit of relationship advice that has served me well over the years:
before marrying, keep both eyes wide open. after marriage, close one eye.
woooo! there is nothing better than sharing your life — and your aminals — with your favorite person. congratulations!!!
Since I don’t know where the happy couple is registered, I’ve made a donation to CO on their behalf.
Well done, campers.
hooooooray!!!!!
i gave it a little while and checked back, and hooray! what a great kit, too.
This is so absolutely wonderful! Even though a gazillion people have said it before me, YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!! and congratulations and very warm best wishes to you! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!
(wanders off humming the wedding march…)
the kitty used for the proposal is Tesla grumblepuss. As seen by the link from maryland grad. the other kitty is really cute too!
Congrats to the newly-engaged?

Cute Overload, indeed.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
I KNEW I shouldn’t have stopped reading this blog! Thanks for posting to LJ about it.
Congratulations to you both!
And, um, so far in my experience the only thing better than getting engaged was getting married. And I say that despite the total lack of sleep or time to relax in the last week.
Have a wonderful life together
Yaaaay! Congratulations to you both! May you have many many happy years together!
OMG!!!!!!!! JESS!!! I was following this but never ever ever expected it to be a Jess I KNEW!!!! I’m so so happy for you guys, best engagement story EVER and I’m so happy for you guys!! (PS I totally freaked out when I saw the pic and scared Peter) YAY!!!!!

WOnderful! Congratulations to all three of you!
We’re all going to be involved in the wedding plans, right? Do we get to help choose colors? Are we on the committee to pick the song for the first dance?
Very cute. The whole thing was so very damn cute!
And “t”, you wouldn’t feel like sharing that recipe for the vegan pumpkin chocolate chip brownie cake, would you? I’d like to add something new into my baking repertoire, and these sound MARVELOUS. Just reply if you see this and feel like sharing, and we can go by email.
And my warmest congrats to Jess, Colin, Tesla, and Mongoose. A very happy day all around!
YAY!!! So happy for Jess and Colin! Congrats
Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! Congratulations! That’s brilliant … the cat is fabulous!!

Hey – I was first in line buddy! haha – Have a happy life together! Remember – adopt all the cute little ones you can!
More yays!
AN IDEA:
A REALLY GOOD IDEA:
Make a section on Cuteoverload where people can ask things like this! Make it something EVERYONE can do if they wish! Maybe the TOP 50 cute proposals! It would be a smash hit! Look at the reception you got with this – imagine if you opened a SPOT on C.O.L. for this purpose!
Ditto on everything! Congrats! Best Wishes! Jess and the cat are adorable! Colin (OMG his name starts w/ CO!!!) just accomplished the CUTEST PROPOSAL EVAR!
Congratulations!
Colin must be quite a dish to deserve such a beautiful Jess and lovely kitty..
AAAAWWWWWWW!!! YAY!! congrats you guys! =)
Congradulations! Tesla looks like such a cool kitteh! I hope you let her and her sis-fur go to the wedding!
Congratulations! This IS cute! <3
Woo Hoo!!
Congrats!
“Mawage. Mawage is wot bwings us togeder tooday.”
Congratulations, Jess and Colin. I can only hope your wedding will include kittehs as bridesmaids, puppehs as ushers and any number of cute animals in attendance, like the animals in Lewis Carroll’s jury box.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWW, this is the sweetest ever!!! I’m soooo happy!
Hearty congratulations and we need a follow-up!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jess, you are so very cute for a human too! Congratulations to you both!
YIPPEE!!!!!

“Guys”, you “GUYS” will be very happy
(i hate typos…)
GREATEST POST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been wondering about this all day (I do have a life, it was just so sweet and unexpected). Congratulations to you!
Yeah, but didja vote?
Aww, yay!
And she’s as cute as the kitty is!
Very creative! Congrats to you both!
Wooooooooooooohooooooooo! Congrats from Spock, Hamlet, Pickle, Poobah, Bradford n Bingley and the un-named baby ham! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxz
CONGRATULATIONS!! How delightful!
What the heck; I’ll post here too. This is destined to be a CO classic.
Congrats, Jess and Colin. The best I can wish for you is that you are as happy as we are. Remember to always be kind to each other.
Congratulations! And a little squeeeze to the kitty.
Yay, and congratulations! All the happiness is a loverly thing
November is such a good month, the 6th was my birthday as a matter of fact, so I heartly approve of all the yay-ness! Even the bunnies would approve today!
Congratulations!!!
(Cat’s all like “Hey, don’t I get a say in all this? What about my needs, my feelings? I am NOT sharing a litter box with some other cat, not no way, not no how!”)
I’m such a sucker for things like this, I just went “awww” here in real life! Congratulations (and pet the kitty)!
Best wishes to Jess, Colin and their owners:)
(because you don’t own the cat, the cat owns you!!!)
1. The cat should SO be the ring bearer.
2. WEDDING PICS HAD BETTER BE POSTED ON THE QTE!
3. Congrats, and the best of luck!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS! Best proposal ever! I’m so happy for you both!
How lovely!! Congrats to both (and kitty!)
Yay! Congrats to you three! ♥ ♥ ♥
sooo great. That cat should be an award winning actor, he makes such meaningful faces!
It’s really nice to know stuff like this is going on while I’m just dragging through school, it’s refreshing.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!1!!!!!
Congratulations, Jess, Colin, and Kitteh!!!!
And what a cute pic!!
Squee!!!! >^.^<
I don’t know you but I’m tearing up, I am completely verklempt! What a wonderful start to a marriage. And you’ll have your little feline love sprite to help you through the rough patches. Colin, you must be a great guy and Jess, you sure must deserve him! All the best and thanks for sharing the love!
oh no, now I am checking back in case a photo of the couple and their kitties comes up!!
omg yay! I was in hawaii when I saw the first post, then I had to shut of my puter at the airport and fly home, and I couldn’t wait for the answer the whole flight.
congrats!
Kitty Kupid!!! All he needs are wings and a bow. . .
Congratulations, this has absolutely MADE my day!
Totally made my night. I hope you two will be very happy. You’re the first official CO couple!
YEAH! This totally brightened a gloomy day!
Romance is alive and well it seems,
When a boy falls in love with the girl of his dreams,
And with help from a cat (and CO) he conspires
To win the hand of the girl he admires.
To Tesla, Colin, and adorable Jess,
Congratulations! We’re thrilled you said “Yes!”
Here’s wishing you many years of bliss.
cute is as cute does
i predict that they will be standing on top of their own wedding cake
Congratulations, you beautiful creatures
So, I couldn’t be happier for these two. If any couple, ever, deserved to be on Cute Overload, it’s these guys.
Cute Overload has a way of completely bypassing the cynical filter that most stuff has to go through. One of my first memories of CO was seeing the picture of the snow-covered baby seal, and instantly falling in love. No cynicism, no dismissiveness, nothing.
I put it up on my work computer as the background image. For some reason, I didn’t care at all whether people thought it was weird.
Colin & Jess are a lot like that. They’re able to do stuff like this, and it’s not sappy, or contrived, or weird. It’s awesome, full stop.
I couldn’t be happier for them.
Loveliest thing ever!
*AAAAWWWWWWWWW….*
This is just so sweet and beautiful and wonderful! I wish lifetimes of love and luck to Colin, Jess, and Tesla – and what a story to tell your kids and grandkids!
Congrats to you both…….
very picture perfect pittyeh to …………
Whooohooo!!!1
Whooohooo!!!1
Congrats! I am practically cuted to death, here.
I hope that kitty gets some special scritches-behind-the-ear or perhaps some delicious treat for so effectively playing the role of adorable, cuddly messenger
Congratulations to the both of you! This has made my day – I hope it makes the rest of your lives together amazing!
Congratulations to the both of you! This has made my day – I hope it makes the rest of your lives together amazing!

So I leave work with no resolushons yesterday and this morning I remember about this proposal and I rush to the computer and holy smoke! There’s not only the answer, but the mysterious Jess and the kitty that was the familiar in this whole bit of magic! Wow, how mysteriously happy this makes me. My best to you both for a long and happy life. Glasses raised in your direction – peace.
*sniff* And thanks for letting us all be a part of it.
YAY!!!!!!!Congrats to you both from my 5 cats and 1 doggie and me!!!!
Congrats!!! May God bless you with every happiness, and many, many kittens.
OMG. What’s this world coming to??? People marrying cats is an abomination! Are the Republicans aware of this?
Kidding. This is awesome! Congratulations!!!
yaaaaaay!!!!!!

OK. So now let’s see Colin.

(SCREAM) (THUD)
(Recovering)
what they said!
Congratulations to the three of you, and best wishes for the future!!!!
Meeelyuns and meelyuns of congrats! Too much cuteness — I must explode now!
CO peeps…whenever I get a boyfriend, would you kindly let him know that this is the ONLY way to propose. Thank you!
Many congratulations, and a long and happy life together to all three of you. (Mr. Picky joins me in sending you purrs and good wishes (fishes).)
Congratulations! <3
Congratulations!!! I sure hope your life together is as wonderful and love filled as mine & my husbands! Marriage is wonderful thing.
Many years of love & happiness to you.
Yay!!!
YAY!
So cute!
Jess, I love that you answered him on the CO also!
I’m so relieved! Relieved she said yes and relieved that I’m not the only one getting misty-eyed over this. Congrats to you both, may your marriage be filled with all the happiness this unique proposal brought to so many CO readers!
Hearts and flowers and flutterbyes and kitties to all!
Oh my God, seriously? People are so not cute! Why is CO posting pictures of people and their pets again?!
(Heeheehee, how was my first attempt at nuffery?)
Once again, congrats to the happy couple. I just looked at some of your Flickr photostream and you two are a very lovely, happy-looking couple.
Aw! You and kitty are the cutest.
YEA!!!! Congrats to both of you (and kitteh too)!!
Congratulations!!! I think kitteh needs to have an honorable place in the ceremony!
Not to get too ahead of things, but…if you guys procreate, your firstborn is the official baby of CO. I hereby declare it.
Thanks, Theo, for the link so we can see Colin too. He is equally adorable and they look like a perfect match. (And kitty makes three.) This whole experience has been a real phenomenon, and gives me hope for the community of humankind.
That was really cute & awesome. Now the not-so-cute-&-awesome part: sifting through the kitty litter waiting for that @%#$ ring to come out!!!
SO sweet. Congratulations to the happy couple blessed with a cute kitteh!
Congratulations!!
Jess and kitty-kat look like they could be sista’s!
adorable!
congratulations.
Congrats, congrats, congrats to all three of you–and NICE work!!!
Aww, congrats! Much happiness to the both of you!
The bells ring out, the massed CO choir sing a paen of praise accompanied by the CO orchestra of purrs barks whinnies meeps eeks and ppbbbts.
Yes Yes Jess said Yes
we must confess
we are speechless.
So nobody’s gonna say it? No? Then I will:
Yay! And congratulations!
Congratulations! This may be the Cutest Overload of all, especially with such a beautiful cuddly scarf. What’s his/her name, anyway? (Along with everyone else I’m assuming the cat isn’t Colin. LOL.)
Congratulations!!!!! Yay!!!! I do not know you but those pics just made my day! I wish you all the happiness in the world!
P.S. Beautiful kitty!
Wow amazing, congratulations! – Cuteoverload is the best website ever invented – always guarenteed to make me smile and especially so today – best wishes for the future Jess and colin!
Babs — actually I kinda think maybe *everybody’s* saying that. But please, y’know, feel free.
99% sure she was being facetious, Teoh. ;D
BTW, What with holding the camera, the sign, and the kitty around the neck, Jess has to be pretty well-coordinated.
Space Cowgirl — right, OK. I’m not far into my mocha yet.
YAY!!!!!!!!!! You even have the kitteh stamp of approval!!!!
Signed on as soon as I got to work today. Yay! (and thanks for letting us all in on it)
Congratulations! Kitteh looks very happy about the whole thing, too!
hooray for all 3 of you!!! and jess, you’re as cute as a button. a really cute button….
Allow me to erase that 1%, Space Cowgirl. [And Teho - duh! It's like you don't know me at all! :''' ]
um CONGRATULATIONS! and YAY!!!

That just proves that kitties are the truest path to love. #sigh#
Congratulations, you guys!
Gratz to the both of ya! That was such an awesome idea.
A kitten totally beat a diamond ring.
Aubrey & Renee: “Wuv, twue wuv…”
It wouldn’t take much for Meg to be able to officiate the wedding. You can become a minister online for about $25, which would make her legal! WOO! CO wedding all around!
Congrats, y’all!
Congrats you guys! That’s awesome!
So sweet! Congrats to both of you!!
*happysigh*
Yay and congratulations!
Congrats x 1000000 times! Make sure to send in wedding pics!!
I think the kitteh should be the ring bearer. Congrats!
Oh phew!
I totally got psyched out by the “Sorry to disappoint” post and despaired about it all last night!
Happy, giddy, wonderful congratulations to you both, and to your electrifyingly cute cat!
OMG I love this couple, their cat, and their apartment/office (whatever is in the background).
This is among the most pathetic things I’ve ever seen. Are you going to have a blog wedding? Perhaps feed each other some blog cake?
The guy who proposed via blog is a coward. Asking someone to marry you is a nerve-wracking experience even if you know damn well they’re going to say yes. It should be done in person so you can kiss, hug and, ideally, have crazy sex with all that adrenaline rushing through you. Way to give away one one of the most precious human experiences to cyberspace. What a damn joke.
HOORAY!! It is maked me go all melty.
And Aaron? Maybe not everybody does things the same way? I think it would be kinder to be happy for this couple rather than squashing what’s obviously a happy experience with your ideas of the “right” way to propose–every couple is different, k?
Awwwwww…I gots goosey bumps!! Deys ehnerabuhl..So happaih fer yuze.. A warm cungradiashuns .. doin hapaih danz!!!
Shar
yaaay congrats!!!! best of luck for the future! : D
Thinker, that’s fine. I don’t know these people so it’s not terribly emotional for me. I hope they’re a wonderful couple and that they are very happy.
My concern is with the lack of human interaction this sort of practice encourages. I believe it’s a slippery slope toward a society where people are more comfortable with electronic interaction than with living, talking and loving face-to-face.
Aaron: they already live together. With 2 cats. And really nice shelving.
In this case, methinks the problem here is strictly yours.
(also, proposing on Cute Overload is just about as public as you can get)
(“coward”, my pootin’ ass)
‘Tis a wonderfully creative way to propose. And look how much joy it’s brought thousands of random people! Lots of us have the warm fuzzies today because of it…so, I think it’s all good. (Jess obviously liked it).
Congratulations Jess and Colin! Jess, you are absolutly beautiful, as is your kitty!
Couldn’t be happier! 
Oh ya cat does all the work and we congratulating Collin lol………Good Luck u guys and congratulations kitty on a job well done!
Woo hoo!!! Congrats to you both!!!
this man is too good to be true.

handsome, AND lovin the kittehs.
its just ridiculously delicious!
what a cute couple.
so are we-all carpooling to the wedding or what? i got dibs on shotgun.
oh Tigger-
Where can you become a minister for 25 bucks on the internetz ?
I think Colin looks just a bit like Richard Thompson.

(also, ‘52 Vincent Black Lightning is one of the best songs EVER)
Dudes, OMG I almost missed all this! What’s all yer cat-erwauling!
I shall open ze bottle of champagne du jour this evening to celebrate. Con-cat-ulations! Give me’smore!
Theo-what’s a “pootin” ass? hmmmm, interesting.
Heather, are u from upstate NY? do you know how to make salt potatoes?
MamaDawn, with the long golden hair?
Kiragirl — it’s less interesting than you might imagine.
“…ideally, have crazy sex with all that adrenaline rushing through you”
Too much info! We don’t need to hear about your sex life, not even your idealized one.
As a person who’s been in an amazingly fulfilling Internet relationship for the past two years, I snort in your general direction. What constitutes “human interaction” varies by personal taste, and yours doesn’t govern us all…thankfully.
Perhaps you’re cranky because you haven’t been getting enough “living and talking face-to-face”, and are projecting onto the happy couple?
space cowgirl-
who poo-pooed?
i must have missed the neg comment, or i just blocked it out of my mind.
tell me so i can join your rant on em.
Congrats, congrats, CONGRATS!!!!
Aaron a few posts up, do a search on the page on “coward” to read his first comment.
Glad his stuff didn’t get deleted yet, if only because I’d sound slightly deranged.
Sometimes deletion isn’t the proper response.
Yes, sometimes you just need to wait for the flame brigade to reinforce you. That’s me! And probably 3/4 of the rest of the site’s regular viewers before the day is done.
Oh my gosh! Fabulous! Warmest congratulations and best wishes to both of you! Yayyyy!!!!!!
A toast:
Here’s to Colin and Jess,
and kitty, too,
May your sorrows be less,
now that you are two.
wow aaron.
it must suck to be you. );

Thanks Gizmo, i love the pizzy XCU pix, funny.
Congrats to you! You are lucky to have a guy who will propose to you on CO, the bestest site on the interwebs ever!
Woo, hooray to the happy couple and to Tesla, who is probably going to get extra lovin’ tonight and will have no clue why. Too cute.
Aaron, exactly how is this different from an updated version of the old cliche of having the scoreboard flash “so-and-so, will you marry me?” at a sporting event? What makes you think Colin wasn’t standing right behind Jess saying “Check CuteOverload! Check it!”? Seems to me that Colin should be getting props for creativity.
Awww . . . I don’t know who’s cuter – the kitty or Jess. Congratulations!
How weird is it that I totally became teary when I saw the photo?! Congratulations! I hope the three of you will be very happy together.
Holy moley, they are the cutest couple I’ve ever seen! With that loft and those kitties and that nifty proposal, they’re straight out of a film!
One final word:
Are we all invited? woo hoo
I’ll bring hors d’ouevres!
I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited for complete strangers. Congratulations!
Yay! Also, I just checked out the Flickr stream…the kitty in both of the proposal/acceptance photos totally looks like Hugh Laurie. Yep. He looks like Hugh Laurie, thus he is one hot cat.
Congrats!!! Please, please, PLEASE let me take care of your kitty while you’re on your honeymoon!
Congratulations and best wishes!
Great proposal!
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Congratulations!
CONGRATULATIONS Colin + Jess !!! ^_____^
wow, aaron hasnt got a clue, has he? and no romance either. putting a marriage proposal on CO blog is probably the sweetest thing I’ve seen. others go for billboards or the ring-in-the champagne-glass thingy or whatever, and Jess’s man(?) goes to the blog of her daily ritual -if she’s anything like me. THAT has to be the most well thought out proposal for Jess and therefore extremely romantic! I feel sorry for Aaron- no points for creativity.
my only comment is that the proposal handwriting could have been a bit neater!? and cat should be wearing his best bow… ;-P
I am soo unsanely jealous Jess! but I am happily married…..to a non-creative proposer…
This is so incredibly awesome. Congrats! Man.
ow! the cutest! congrats.
Congratulations!
Wishing you both all the best for the future!!
Very nice! And I’d like to add that you have like a really nice looking apt as well! Congratulations.
OH YAH BABY – They hang out at Burning MAN!
Is this a first for CO? And can we please have a shoulder-kitteh category? I got a great one of Handsome Stranger helping me work.
YAY!!! =D
I’m so glad Jess responded with a photo. With the same kitteh for identification too.
Congrats!
Mazel tov.
Wow! What a great idea!! Is this a cuteoverload first??? Maybe there should be a proposal catagory! Big Congratulations to the three of y’all and Good Luck!
I just got in to work late, and saw the update –
SO cute and what a happy ending!
Mucho congrats to all!
Seven…blinkin back a happy tear
Congratulations to both of you! Have fun with the engagement, wedding, and ultimately marriage.

Ohhhhhh. I am all squishy. Tesla G and Jess are matchinks. They both have pretty pointed faces and lovely big eyes.
Wedding photos, please in due course.
Warmest best wishes to you all.
BookMonster — you know, it DOES sorta look like Tesla’s wearing glasses too.
Yep, the kitteh’s in the photo to authenticate the real “Jess” and real answer. Best to all peeps and cats in the nifty apt./loft(?) wherever it is. I’m envious in so many ways!
colin’s lucky; jess is a lil cutie!! so is the kit!!!
yay you guys!!!
Yay!!!
Makes you cry. And I did.
OMG, she’s gonna marry that kitteh? Well, he is quite the charmer.
aw, now that i can see both…jess and colin=cute couple!!
yay you guys again!!!
AWWW!
Being particularly partial to bunnies…I think that at the wedding, there should be a bunny ring-bearer with one ring on each ear. That would be totally awesome!
That is the cutest. thing. ever! Congrats to both of you! My heart melted when I saw that, and today when I saw the response… AWWWWWW! That is so special. Yay for both of you
Congratulations!!! Can we all come to the ceremony? I’ll bring the spinach poofs!
I love this, its so cute.
And what I especially love is that it makes everyone so happy. All us jaded techno surfers, we are all happy about dee kitteh and dee love.
Sigh. Eees wonerful!
(p.s. thanks for the billake site! that was cool!)
So…how is this the cutest thing ever? I guess I just don’t get it. Will the wedding be on CO? Aaron is the only one that made any sense on this page. What is wrong with hugging, kissing and having crazy sex?
[Oh, nobody has sex anymore. Where have *you* been? - Ed.]
[moron]
No one commented on this – feedback please
I repeat…
AN IDEA:
A REALLY GOOD IDEA:
Make a section on Cuteoverload where people can ask things like this! Make it something EVERYONE can do if they wish! Maybe the TOP 50 cute proposals! It would be a smash hit! Look at the reception you got with this – imagine if you opened a SPOT on C.O.L. for this purpose!
WTF, Adam & Aaron–go spread that good cheer elsewhere, mkay?
Congratulations Jess and Colin!!!!
*dies of teh cuteness*
this is so cool…
Dave, why don’t we wait and see if we get more wedding-proposal requests, first?
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
There better be wedding pictures.
Dave — I should also say that I don’t dislike the idea. It’s very early days for it, is all.
OMG I hope you put these two photos up in a place where I can see them daily. I smile looking at Jess’s face!!! Cool shelving, too.
BEST. PROPOSAL. EVAH!
Congrats you two!
I say pimp the cat out for other proposals and live like royalty for the rest of your lives! Congratulations!
Yay yay YAYYYYYY!!! Congrats to Colin and Jess! We’re all cheering our ‘tocks off!
Love Monica Gabe & Tiger too
ONLY the CUTEST C.O. EVER!
Love the cat’s expression looking at the sign, s/he’s like “You’re actually gonna MARRY that guy?”
Congratulations Jess! I remember my special day on SOMC. The outpouring of well wishers from the around the globe was amazing! Love your response pic.
[waves to Heather]
Sigh.
Hey Aaron and Adam-who-is-probably-Aaron, I’m not sure if anyone told you this but the point of proposing marriage isn’t actually to get “crazy sex.” The point is to get her to say “yes.” Good luck getting that to work for you.
And yeah, if Colin and Jess want to post wedding pictures to CO, I’m sure most people would love to see them. Especially the cat parts. Do you think the kitties will get to be the ringbearer and the flower gal? I think we should at least expect little tuxes.
WOOO HOO! Thank god she said yes! CONGRATS YOU TWO!!!
I concur with the rest…
AARON SUX!!!
Why would he even be on C.O. if he is sucha partay pooper?
get with it aaron! pull the stick outta your ‘tocks!
PLEASE LEAVE AARON ALONE…
