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

Maybe really late.... like tell him he can do it half an hour before your venue closes?

ETA: I should have refreshed... basically I think the best scenario is idea of having it at the end of the wedding (if you don't want to say no)

ETA2: because I can write sentences that make sense

I am probably on the odd side of this and would be totally okay with it. Mostly because I think it would add to the day, make it more unique and special to even more people.

Now, after reading your comments about how she is an attention hog and it bothers you, I wouldn't do it if I were you. I would just explain to him that you understand the day is special to him, but it is the biggest day to you. Tell him to ask at midnight (maybe when the party has died down and you have had most of your day to yourself) and be all Cinderella romantic. I just wouldn't want someone who perpetually steals the spotlight to be able to do it all day...

Really late seems like a good idea, maybe during the last dance

km i have a bit of bitterness, i usually smile through it always sharing my big days, the worst was the day i won an award with ripleys believe it or not and my friend stole the spotlight by proposing to his gf on the stage i was still standing on while accepting my award, but hey i smiled and was happy for them

Chelsea this girl is insane with the look at me attitude lol shes so sweet but omg she needs to be hit with the calm the f*ck down stick badly sometimes

Last dance deal sounds good to me, and it will be something fun to look forward to at the end of the night.

Omg what is with your friends proposing during your special moments??

Im really liking the end of the night, next to last dance or something idea, i think thatd work without making me feel like my whole day was shared yet again

A spoke to one of my BMs about proposals at weddings when there was that thread with the pic of the guy proposing right in front of the head table of a wedding. I think it is totally stealing the people whose wedding they are at's thunder, but she said she thinks it is romantic. Ummm NO. As others have said, you didn't spend all this time and money to make some nice scenery and have a professional photographer around for their engagement. I would request that he hold off until after the wedding, or at least not do it at your reception (or God forbid your ceremony). Or if you could at least convince him to not do it until the very end of your reception, so as to not steal your spotlight. You know once everyone sees that they are going to be all gushy congratulating them when they and your guests were supposed to be there to celebrate your wedding with you.

Noooooope!!

He can always propose AFTER the wedding reception which will still be his anniversary. On their way home from your wedding/reception he can just say, "wow! That was fun - hey do you want to have one of those?" and present a ring.

Nikki its a plague haha i swear

Ridiculous and selfish.

Well she sounds like an attention whore. No well in hell would I let that happen on my wedding day.

I'm picturing pulling your friend aside "hey! I have to tell you something, come here..." and pulling her to a pretty (but secluded) spot within your venue, and her bf is waiting, and you are there to watch in adoration for her. (it sounds like the "center of attention" bit is crucial for her) At the end of the night. Then you promptly make your grand exit - and she can show it off for the last 20 minutes as every one is leaving to her hearts content.

I think ill ask him how he feels about the next to last dance of the night, then we all have one more dance left to celebrate my wedding and their engagement and everyone can just be happy and no one feels left out

Uber, I know you're not very traditional, BUT what about doing the bouquet toss & garter toss and making sure the 2 of them catch the items -- just turn around and hand it to them, if necessary. That would then be the perfect time for him to propose in front of everyone, it would be later during your reception (so you'd still have the spotlight for speeches, first dance, cake cutting, etc. -- if you're having those things).

Nancy that wouldnt work, my "bouquet" is a flowerless lantern which would give the girl a concussion (which could be amusing to watch) and im not doing a garter

Also - trendy rude to even ask. Eyeroll. You're an angel to consider it.

Allison i think my friend just wants to give her that anniversary proposal she's been dying for and also as always share the day with me like we always do.

11:59pm proposal

Surfer thats what im thinking, that might just do the trick
