Another proposal during your wedding

Future Mrs. Anderson, on June 11, 2019 at 5:23 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 30
So I was at a wedding last month for a co-worker and one of the groomsmen actually proposed to his girlfriend during their wedding reception (without the bride or groom knowing). Do you feel like he did it at the wrong time? Me personally I don’t want nobody taking away from me and my FH day. And yes my co-worker and her husband were upset!!

    I think it’s SO tacky and thoughtless. I made my FH swear never to do it.

    Omg yes! She was so upset and I could tell she didn’t enjoy the rest of her night. I think the groom made both of them leave because how upset she was. Even the guest were like “are you serious”

    I would definitely be upset. I mean I was irritated because I’m an orchestra teacher and our secretary’s boyfriend interrupted our concert without notice to propose to her. I really hope no one tries to do this at my wedding :-/

    Yeah, that's definitely a no go. Especially if the bride and groom didn't okay it. Was the groomsman close to all of the guests? Cause if his only connection to the wedding was the groom, that's even weirder to propose in front of a ton of strangers celebrating someone else's marriage.

    I don't think that's ok. I agree that it's tacky. It almost seems like the only purpose of that is to try and upstage the bride and groom, and while I'm not normally a person who likes attention, I feel like my wedding day should be about me and FH (within reason. Emergencies and such happen).

    Definitely not ok if the bride and groom had no knowledge of it. I think it’s cute if they’re in on it though.

    I can totally understand why they would be upset. I personally wouldn't mind so long as they told me they were going to do it and it happened during the reception (and not the actual ceremony lol)... They definitely should've told the bride & groom.

    Not tacky, just plain wrong! It'd be fine if the wedded couple knew ahead and were ok with it. Ugggggh

    Wow! That is super rude. It’s your special day and not anyone else’s. I would have been pissed!

    It's tacky unless the bride and groom are in on it and ok with it. I was at a wedding where that was the case and it was nice. I'd be upset if I wasn't in on it.

    Wow! That is incredibly rude. I’d be mad as hell too if I found that out later on. You just don’t do that at another couple’s wedding/reception. If my FH proposed to me this way, I’d be embarrassed, upset, and would definitely tell him how inconsiderate and tacky he is being. Another couple’s wedding day is NOT about you.

    I personally would think it’s super cute if one of my best friends got engaged at our wedding. It’s kind of like passing the love torch lol. I don’t feel that a close friend’s happy occasion can ever take away from my special day 🤷🏻‍♀️
    Bride & groom having to leave their own wedding because they’re so upset about this, sounds awfully insecure on their part 😆
    At the same time, if that groomsman is groom’s best friend, how on earth does he not tell the groom about his proposal plan? I guess I don’t really get best friends like that.

    I would be so upset! This is actually something we're worried about happening during our reception. A friend of my FH's wants to propose but we just don't know when. So my fiance is planning on having lunch with him and just politely but firmly stating that this would not be the time for that to happen.

    I would be bullshit they did it without asking me! And I mean slap that ring out of his hand mad. If I was a guest I would have Boo-ed it upon seeing the bride upset.
    You gotta ask and you gotta do it right. Someone else's wedding isn't right

    I think I'd be more upset if I were the person being proposed to. I'd want something special for us...not piggy backing on someone else's day.
