The best man (grooms uncle) who I have only meant once just called my FH to ask him about the wedding and to ask a favor. He is flying his girlfriend up for the weekend to come to our wedding and wants to propose to her at my wedding. His idea is to have me throw my bouquet at her, then he will...

The best man (grooms uncle) who I have only meant once just called my FH to ask him about the wedding and to ask a favor. He is flying his girlfriend up for the weekend to come to our wedding and wants to propose to her at my wedding. His idea is to have me throw my bouquet at her, then he will propose. My FH told him he didnt see an issue with it but he needed to ask me. I personally do have an issue with it. There is no way to guaratee that she is going to be the one to win the bouqet toss and also I feel like its imposing on our special day. What are your thoughts and how would you respond this sitution?

    That is so rude that he even asked. I don't get why he thought it would be a good idea. It's your day!! Don't let him take the spotlight from you and your FH.

    Absolutely not! I can't believe he asked. It is your special day and if someone proposes to someone than everyone will be focused on them and congratulating them. That was very rude to even ask.

    I'd be pissed. I asked FH and he said he would be pissed too. Just say it nicely.

    Tell him spend his own thousands of dollars on his proposal. What an asshat.

    Umm, thinkin...... that would a hell no!! Takes some nerve to ask a bride to share her day with a complete stranger. If it were me, after all the work, time, and money put into this one day, and someone else wanted to hijack part of it, I'd be royally pissed. Not only is that rude as hell, but it's tacky and makes the guy look like he's too cheap to do it right. Wrong on so many levels.

    I didn't read the comments, but I didn't have to.

    Fuck no. This is your day, and his fiance needs hers too...a different one.

    I do see how it would be romantic for him...: but I am totally against someone proposing at someone else's wedding. I know to some that might seem selfish, but it is the one day (few hours) you have dedicated to your marriage and have spent so much time and money... It should be all about you guys that day. If anything, maybe at the very end of the night so it doesn't take over the wedding or suggest some other ideas to him to help stage something for him but maybe the day after?

    I REALLY want my best friends (also MOH) boyfriend to propose this way. Our friends and her parents will be there. He's either going to propose that weekend or the weekend after. Might as well be a production. I guess I personally don't have an issue with this but she's also my best friend.

    Nope.

    What if he doesn't care and does it anyways? Do you trust him to keep his word?

    Nope nope nope. Why does anyone think that's an appropriate time to do it? I would be horrified if I was the girlfriend - you're interrupting someone else's special day.

    Every time I scroll past this I read it as "Bat man wants to propose at my wedding" and my first reaction is "sweet!". Then my eyes straighten and I read the actual title and think, " no way!". I agree with pp, it's your day.

    @Kerri - I'm so glad I am not the only one who read that...

    But, in response to OP - I would not be on board with this.

    I agree with PP. You're paying a lot of money for your special day. I would never share that.
