Have you been wondering who the mystery guy was behind plans to pop the question to his girlfriend during a SuperBowl commercial last Sunday? Now you know – search marketer Rand Fishkin.

Rand’s plans for the SuperBowl announcement didn’t happen, so it was backup plan time — a commercial during one of her favorite shows last night, Veronica Mars. And yeah, he got a yes :)

You can see Rand’s proposal on video here:

Geraldine’s incredibly surprised (and somewhat hyperventilated reaction) is video here:

How Rand’s kept her from figuring it out all this time is amazing. Rand answers some questions about the entire proposal plans here, including how the original plan to have a commercial during the SuperBowl almost happened to the point of filming a commercial, until the advertiser plugged the plug at the last minute. The Seattle PI has a great rundown on the story here.

You can leave congrats at the My Super Proposal site here — or over at the SEOmoz blog here. And Geraldine and Rand — congrats from all of us here at Search Engine Land!
