My Friend Wants To Get Engaged....At My Wedding

Nope. He can do it earlier in the day or even after. Explain to him that you didn't spend all of this time and money for him to have a special moment.

What is with people and their freaking dating anniversary? can someone explain that to me? i say nope

eta: at least not at the wedding

No.

Uhhhhh, yeah. I'm pretty sure your wedding doesn't take the ENTIRE day. Can't he do it before or after?? It would still be the same day...

I have no answers for how to deal with it and work it in, because I would by no means deal with it or work it in. Absolutely not. It's your wedding. Unfortunately for him, that trumps dating anniversaries. If he really wants to propose that day, he can propose before (still not desirable but his circus, his monkeys) or after your wedding...on his own time (and dime), and in his own place. Not at your wedding.

Honestly, it's pretty rude of him to ask you. It's you and your FH's wedding. I doubt she wants to be proposed to at a wedding. He should do it later that night- maybe a sweet after wedding set up. I don't know - it just seems weird to be proposed to at someone else's wedding.

Whut?! No.

I think another bride had this same question come up about a month ago - wish I could remember what she ended up doing. But for me, no. That day is to celebrate FH and my relationship.

Show him links to articles of that guy that did it and all of the comments that followed calling him an asshole, seriously.

It's cute that he wants to do it on their dating anniversary but I'm pretty sure 95% of women would be absolutely mortified if they were proposed to at a friend's wedding.

No! He can do it before or after your wedding but not during your wedding. That's your time.

The worry is before the wedding he'll be with me helping me get everything ready so he wont have time or a romantic feel around him to propose and the party is going til a bit after midnight so after he'd be proposing on the wrong date.

I personally wouldn't mind if a friend asked me if he could do this. I'd help plan it as a surprise at the end of the evening.

But if it bugs you, don't feel shitty for saying no. He can do it after the wedding on their way home if he really wants to do it that day.

He could always do it privately after the wedding?

I just would feel bad telling him no, he's gone above and beyond for me throughout the years and he's been my go to buddy for a long time. i know it's important to him, ugh

Maybe suggest to him that it would be more romantic to find a private time between him and his girlfriend? He could even do it later that night, just so long as he's not asking up in front of everyone.

edit- Just saw your responses. That's tough.... Could they do it between the ceremony and the reception? Or during the reception when everyone is partying (after all of the "official" wedding things have been done)?

I wouldn't let him get engaged at my wedding hey can ask the morning of or after but not at my wedding.

he could be like the wedding today got me thinking how much I would like to have get married to you

Nope nope nope. He can do it in the morning before the event, or later at night afterwards.

Do you know what his plan was? was it going to be infront of everyone or was he planning on going for a walk with her and asking at some point during the reception?

eta: i guess if it was a private thing then i wouldnt mind that much

I wouldn't feel bad. He should feel bad for asking such a crazy notion.

No no no no no no no!

Thats all you say to him. If he does it, then if I were you I would announce that you are pregnant with triplets at HIS wedding.
