You don’t need to rent a tux for this marriage proposal.

Customers at the jewelry store can enter to win a 20-minute exclusive encounter with two African penguins at Newport Aquarium Riverside Room and a Swarovski crystal penguin box (for the ring).
Only one entry per couple. Entries will be accepted through Dec. 16. A winning couple will be chosen Dec. 17.
Sara Johnson, digital marketing director for James Free Jewelers, said the first time promotion already is drumming up a lot of interest, even though it just kicked off.

Meet The Penguin Who Wears Designer Sandals
Dailymail - Meet Lucky the Humboldt Penguin whose designer sandals make sure he’s always got happy feet. Keepers at Santa Barbara Zoo, in California, first noticed that Lucky had a limp after he started walking as a hatchling.The zoo’s vet discovered that his bones were not growing properly, which meant he had been walking on the wrong part of his foot. If left untreated the problem would leave Lucky susceptible to infections that could prove fatal. But zoo staff had the bright idea of making a special shoe which would keep Lucky’s foot protected and stop him from limping.Teva, an outdoor footwear company, agreed to design a penguin-sized water proof sandal and to keep Lucky appropriately booted for the duration of his life.Dean Noble, a manager at the zoo, said: ‘Lucky is much happier now and he’s stopped limping which is a relief. ‘He’s very patient when they need to change his shoes and even seems to enjoy the extra attention.’
I don’t want to rain on this penguin’s parade or anything but Teva’s are so out it’s not even funny. Like you know who wears Tevas? Losers. Seriously if anybody reading this right now has a pair of Teva’s I would run not walk to your closet, light them on fire and then possible kill myself. Honest to god if I had the choice of walking with a limp because my foot was deformed and possible getting a staff infection and dying or wearing a custom Teva boot to save my life I’d risk death in a heartbeat. Tevas are for rednecks, hillbillies and people who wear socks with sandals. That’s it. So this penguin has to look himself in the mirror and ask himself if that’s the type of penguin he wants to be. A teva wearing loser who pulls no ass or a gansta who walks with a limp.
