Surprise engagement -- Handing my bouquet to my best friend!

I can't quite believe I pulled this one off. I'm the absolute worst secret keeper ever and it really tested my willpower to hold this one in for so long.

I can't quite believe I pulled this one off. I'm the absolute worst secret keeper ever and it really tested my willpower to hold this one in for so long. I had approached my best friend's boyfriend a few months before my wedding (I knew he was planning to propose this year) and offered up my idea of doing it at my bouquet toss. I'd seen all of the videos on social media of this exact situation, and honestly, until then had always wondered why a bride would ever consider giving up the spotlight on her big day. Well, now I know.

It was such a special moment in our friendship. Her hair and makeup were perfect (she was maid of honor), the photographer was there to take pictures for them (free since we'd already paid her to be there) and the DJ played their favorite song for them to dance to afterwards. It was absolutely beautiful. AND now I get to go from a bride to maid of honor!

So anyways, enjoy these pictures!

    This is the only way it's ok for someone to get proposed to at a wedding. It's super cute and you're involved and loving it as well. I really cant believe when people propose at weddings without the bride and groom's ok.

    This is so sweet! I don't think I would've been okay with sharing the spotlight during my wedding, but this was so cute!

    That's very sweet but I could never lol. My best friend got engaged at another friend's wedding and we were mortified but her partner got the groom & bride's permission. I would not have given that permission but think this is really sweet.
