My significant other and I decided to make a little weekend project for valentines day. After ~24 [man|women] hours, I'd like to present to you "I Choose You!". A little cheesy, a little geeky.

The entire thing is built on backbone.js and running completely client-side. I'm sure there are some bugs. Enjoy!

*edit: as singer pointed out below, this quick little project is best viewed in browsers of the Webkit/Gecko variety.

Very cool! I love projects like this, and I sent one to my girlfriend as well. I used it from my iPhone and found that image selection is snappy but it's a little slow when typing text... not complaining but from a technical standpoint I just thought it would have been the other way around.

Great job! :)

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you like it.

Takes forever to load in Chrome... couldn't use it.

I gotta a nice connection, but am in Brazil, this could be the problem too.

Nice idea though

This site doesn't load properly in IE8.

This is totally true. Compatibility wasn't high on the list for this quick little project.

Thinking about it now, the kids who may love this are probably using IE 7/8. I'll wip up a little dialog for them.

Pretty cute, I emailed a finished one to my girlfriend.
