Interrupted the ceremony

Caitlin, on June 6, 2017 at 9:51 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 29

I searched a bit but couldn't find anyone who has posted this so if someone already did I apologize... but I know people have asked how people feel about others proposing during their weddings and opinions are fairly split. However, this article says a best man interrupted the ceremony when the couple was saying their VOWS to propose to his girlfriend!

People are crazy!

    Now, we have some friends where it was the brides idea to have the guy propose to the MOH of the wedding. And I immediately made a disgusted face when I heard about the plan, but it worked out. Still not a fan.

    Reading this article, I'd be so angry if I were the bride

    I would be absolutely livid. I'm not a fan of proposing at weddings anyways, but that is crossing the line.

    I think the bride from that wedding posted about this here, unless it happened twice!

    Sorry Kirstie, missed that, must not have gone back far enough.

    Chip, Shauna, I was shocked when other people told the bride and groom to get over it. Seriously?

    I have no way of forming a response for this... that is by far one of the worst things a person can do to their friend on their wedding day. I wouldn't just be angry, I would be so livid, and truthfully I would have asked them to leave. If they 'needed to celebrate,' they could do it elsewhere.

    Yes seen this post if that was me bridezilla would definitely come out I show my FH he said he'll me pissed too. The op handle it too calm in my opinion I would stop our vows call them out and ask them to get tf out op didn't and they ruin their whole night and took all the whatever is left of the spotlights. Is one thing they get permission n who tf proposed during someone else ceremony they must know some rude ass ppl lol excuse my language yes beyond pissed ill be.

    I think it's sad when this happens to a bride. I would not be happy if someone stole my day and party that I paid a lot of money for and put a ton of planning into. Basically the wedding just turns into an engagement party for the newly engaged. Ugh.

    It's disgusting, but frankly? I'm sure it's not the only disgusting and horrible judgement call this person has ever made. The fact that the couple decided to ask THIS person to officiate? And non of their supposed pros or they themselves or family stopped it?

    Sorry. They are partly at fault.

    @Celia, I don't think this would have been avoidable whether or not the best man officiated, so I don't think it was the couple's fault.

    I actually dated a guy in college who did this at his brother's wedding (not to me, we had long broken up by then). He wasn't a selfish bastard, just really really immature and full of ridiculously romantic notions, no practical sense at all. He would give the shirt off his back for others, but had no sense of boundaries. I hated all of that about him and it didn't last long at all and what he did to his brother was totally selfish and unbelievably rude but probably completely unwittingly. What I'm trying to say is I can see how you may know someone like that and not see it coming.

    Propose at my wedding, and I'll make sure I give birth at your baby shower.

    You don't honestly think that a pro officiant would do that, do you?

    It's totally avoidable.

    A pro officiant wouldn't have done it of course, but there's nothing to stop the best man from dropping on one knee in the middle of the ceremony and propose whether or not he was the officiant.

    The only way they could have completely avoided it is to not invite the guy at all. Even a guest could stop the ceremony if he stood up in the middle and flat out proposed.

    My FH and I wouldn't be very nice I can tell you that. It definitely wouldn't have continued they would have been asked to leave.

    I think anyone proposing during another person's wedding is cheap as all hell, unless the bride and groom are for some reason over the moon happy about the idea of someone else proposing at their wedding. I'd see it as the person proposing taking advantage of all the money the bride and groom spent on their wedding to give a fancy proposal. Honestly the tackiest thing. And if I were that girl he proposed to I would have been mortified. But she's probably just as bad as him

    I posted this story a few days ago! And no I wasn't the bride this happened to, but I found the story from Dear Prudence.
