a Proposal At The Wedding

View Quoted Comment

I understand your perspective, however, just because someone shouldn't get offended doesn't mean they won't. I could image the person who asked feeling as if you don't value their love if you said no to the proposal at the wedding. I don't agree with that thought process but I've heard many crazy stories.

Would you give a friend or family member the green light to do it at your wedding if they asked?

I would love to know how the person who is proposed to feels about it happening at someone elses wedding.

I agree that it's horrible if you don't ask first.

Got it, thanks for clarifying.

View Quoted Comment A couple did get engaged at our wedding re eption, and we had no problem with it. They did not call everyone's attention, or make any big spectacle. He asked her in the garden off the patio where our dance floor spilled over outside. People realized after, noticing how happy they were, then the right g. We congratulated them when we noticed. We respect their relationship. We wouldn't have been happy if they created a big scene , that is all, just because there was a big audience, 95% of whom they did not even know. They weren't seeking twenty minutes of Fame and focused attention. The guy just wanted to do it in a romantic place, on a happy night, when they could dance for hours after. That, everyone supported, and those who noticed wished them well. It is the hijaking of the couple's affair I object to, bot a quiet romantic proposal. Most proposals are not photo ops

Absolutely not, and I'd be offended if they asked. I like to think I'm a fairly easy going person, and I answer yes to more requests than I should, but this is something I would not budge on. At the risk of sounding selfish, I've never even had a birthday party - no day that's ever been "about me" and when I get married it's going to be about my FH and myself and our relationship, period. There are a million other ways to do a big people-are-around proposal without hijacking somebody else's celebration.

If FH had the gumption to do this at another person's wedding, I'd be embarrassed.
