I have seen a new trend on social media where the newlywed bride goes to toss the bouquet and instead she hands it over to a guest and then that persons partner proposes to them.

Agree with this. The bride is aware of it in that case. Other situations may or may not be the same. I’m personally not a fan because there are 364 other days but you do you. Another option is propose in private at the wedding. It doesn’t need to be a public event.

I strongly dislike the idea, so does my fiancé.
I watched a couples of similar videos and I hate them, even when the bride is in on it.
That being said, everyone wonders if the bride is in on it... but doesn't care about the groom like if grooms don't matter at all.
I don't think it's rude to ask the couple (and NOT 1 half of the couple only) since some couple like the idea ... but why would someone want propose at a wedding since the guests didn't come for them?
At our wedding, anyone who would do this would be kicked out, it's NOT even up for a debate, including my besties or my fiancé's .Fiancé has a twin sister and he doesn't want this to happen for her and her guy at OUR wedding.

I really don’t understand the hostility toward it. Because very few people are going to make a public scene out of it, grabbing the microphone in the middle of dinner or dancing to disrupt the flow to announce their intention. They will likely do it quietly so no one else is the wiser. In that case, I don’t think it matters.

As someone else mentioned above, proposing at a wedding is similar to the groomsmen/bridesmaids "dances" during the processional & the grand entrance, the grand entrance itself, the wedding party dancing with the groom and/or bride as part of the special dances portion and wedding flashmobs: because of social media and smartphones ... especially youtube,facebook... all these things are attention-grabbing stuff in order to get views and 👍, like 95+% of videos posted on yt that are non wedding-related.
I'm not sure why I would be excited to see a proposal as a guest since I'm here for the couple. The only situation where I wouldn't be pissed off is if it happens at the VERY VERY VERY END of the reception, ie after the last dance, right before everyone says sayonara. Not during the bouquet toss or before the last dance in general.
