Let me make it clear as Sweet didn't state it clearly,First of all, what he meant is this.. When sending a request to a specific person, there should be a message that pop-up at the top of screen that someone has sent you a Marriage Request. He did not meant to any random stranger, but to a specific person that you know already. Maybe a close friend or a friend in the game. Because when you send a Marriage to your friend, he himself is not able to see the message that his friend sent him a request. Therefore, to clarify this, it should pop-up on the top of the screen. Knowing that, you can SMS your friend to accept the proposal, however, sometimes they won't see it because they are too busy on focusing something. That's what he was trying to point out by the way. Again, it is not for Random Stranger but for the people you knew, a close friend to be able to see a Marriage Request at the top of your screen.
If someone wants to marry you (a friend or anyone else) they would speak to you about it, none will just send you a marriage without you even talking to them about it, and also even if someone who you don't know did that, you just won't accept it because you never talked about it. Negative.
So far nothing as changed, it can still be annoying as basically anyone with two rings could send random marriage request and you'd get the notification in your screen, I mean, what would be the difference between someone you know and someone you don't? how would the server know the difference, maybe if we made it only for your friends on citbook? I still think this is trivial, if that person didn't see your message in chatbox because he/she is busy then he/she will hardly see the notification on top of the screen
