Tokyo Tower Records store helps avert a wedding proposal disaster when it finds a lost love note
Klutziness can’t foil cupid’s plan, which is saved by clever employees.
If you work in retail and you’re tidying up your store, there are certain things you expect to occasionally find your customers have left behind, like phones, wallets, and handkerchiefs. The situation was a bit more dramatic at a Tokyo Tower Records, though, when the employees found a marriage proposal.
先程お店に 結婚して下さい というメモが 落ちていました。 落としたという方は スタッフまで お申し付けください。 今日中に落とされた方が いらっしゃらなかった場合は スタッフまでの求婚と判断して、 真摯に気持ちを受け止め、お… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Framed by hearts and written in romantic red ink, the note simply said “Marry me.” However, there was no designated recipient, and so, heart aflutter, the official Twitter account of the Tower Record Diver City branch tweeted:
“We just found a piece of paper saying ‘Marry me’ on the floor of our shop. To the owner of the note, please contact us.
If we don’t hear from you by the end of the day, we’ll assume you want to marry our store staff. We appreciate your feelings, but we’d like to start as friends, and see where the relationship goes.”
Just 30 minutes later, the author of the note, Twitter user @____mttmy, came forward, cringing with embarrassment.

“It’s mine ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ
Oh God I’m dying ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ.”“I put it in the glasses case I loaned to my friend, and my friend must have dropped it. Seriously, this is killing me. I want to get married.”
Then, almost immediately, the intended recipient, Twitter user @2OO3__O227__, joined in.
“I’m the one who dropped the paper. Let’s get married…”
When @2OO3__O227__ opened the case in order to put on the glasses that were inside, the paper fluttered out, apparently undetected until it was found by the Tower Records staff. Now that they knew who it was really meant for, they turned it over to @2OO3__O227__, who came by the store to pick it up.

Both lovebirds offered sincere yet tongue-in-cheek apologies to Tower Records for getting their hopes up. The store took it all in stride, though, tweeting:
“We were able to return the proposal paper to its owner. We were sad to hear that our staff was not being proposed to, but we’re always happy when our customers’ feeling can reach the people, and artists, that they love.”
Don’t worry, Tower Records Odaiba. We’re sure you’ll find your soul mate someday.
