These days, we all use our Twitter accounts to do more then just express ourselves in 140 characters. We get the latest celebrity gossip, follow political campaigns, engage in Twitter wars with Chris Brown – and now, people are even receiving marriage proposals!

Or at least, celebrity tattoo artist and reality star Kat Von D receives marriage proposals.

This week, the “L.A. Ink” star’s on-again-off-again boyfriend, producer/DJ Joel “Deadmau5” Zimmerman, tweeted: “I can’t wait for Christmas so…. Katherine Von Drachenberg, will you marry me?”

Deadmau5 also attached a photo of the potential engagement ring in the tweet as well. On the photo he explained: “Changing the diamond to a black diamond FYI. Sorry for the jpg … they’ll finish the actual ring soon I hope. I love u :D.” (

We’re going to assume he got down on one knee while typing his tweet. You know, cuz we’re romantics.

But, whereas some might call this less-than-storybook, the 30-year-old Von D appeared to be into it, privately accepting her man, and then later tweeting: “Please excuse me while I go squeeze the hell out of my fiancé!”

Later, Deadmau5 added: “Holy f**king s**t. I’m engaged and stuff!”

Other recent tweets have included Kat saying that she was “off to romantical din-din w my babe, and then Comedy time!” or Deadmau5 commenting: “thanks for the well wishes and support from the horde and everyone else! brb while i spend the rest of my evening with my future wife :)”

Even their ceremony vendors are getting into the spirit of things. On the 15th, outside-the-box eating company Epic Meal Time tweeted: “We’re catering the wedding. @deadmau5 @thekatvond” Aah, love in the time of social media!

Congrats to the happy couple, from all of us at Nicerazzi. Oh, and don’t forget to change your relationship status on Facebook!
