Using the aid of a 3D printer, voiceover from characters, and a creative mind, Noah was able to create a remarkable experience for his wife-to-be.
The special game that brought them together
In most unusual circumstances, Noah Yamen says that playing Borderlands together formed a special bond between him and his girlfriend. Through fighting bandits and discovering vaults, Noah and his special lady Tia became a close couple - and now they’re ready to tie the knot.
Planning the Event
Noah put a lot of thought into how his proposal would take place, and he knew that creating Borderlands in real-life was the way to go. Below are the many steps that Noah took to ensure that everything was pefect.
Design an echo-device replica for an iPhone case Make a mission app (with XP and level-ups) Tiny loot chest for the engagement ring Replica 3D shield generator
The shield generator may seem a bit out of place, but Noah took careful notice to the types of shields that Tia uses in game and designed one specially for her, dubbing it the “N.O.A.H Shield”. Using the 3D printer, he modeled the shield, printed it, added some LED lights, and also painted it with the colors her in-game shield has.

Through eight missions comes “Seal the Deal”
After thoughtfully planning eight missions for his real-life Borderlands proposal, Noah took his girlfriend to Chicago for a mini three-day getaway where the final mission, called “Seal the Deal”, took place. With the aid of Claptrap singing, Noah then got on one knee and asked Tia to marry him, and she had the option to accept or decline within the mission.
