“This card is just sad. And in 2011?”
By the help of responses I got, I am editing the post, and dear dizzy-noise, we have missed the sarcasm here. I personally am not that much familiar with those e-cards, so what I wrote before was wrong.
I have published a post about this, so I am sorry again for the misunderstanding and inconvenience. The reason was...

By Monique RuffinMother [HuffPost Gay Voices] Author, blogger, and life coach

thatirishbastard:
So I’m Gabe. Hi! Michael told me that some people that didn’t come to the Christmas party wanted to know how I proposed. I, Gabriel, the proposer, will tell you myself since Mike didn’t know what was going on the entire day anyway.
