Would you rather... someone propose at your reception, or give a horrible toast?

You made it all the way to the reception and then things start to go a little off-plan... Would you rather have a proposal happen at your wedding, or suffer through a terrible toast? I'll suffer through the bad toast! Did he really have to propose tonight? Next Question: Would you rather... plan...

Next Question: Would you rather... plan your wedding in three months or three years?

Previous Question: Would you rather... knock over the cake or trip walking down the aisle?

    Bad toasts... though several PP have identified good reasons for the proposal.

    I would rather someone propose at my wedding- I would think they would let me know about it. But a bad toast is hard to sit through and makes everyone uncomfortable

    Definitely the toast. I wouldn't be nice if someone did that at our wedding. It's completely rude.

    Bad toast. I'm shutting down a proposal at my wedding. Sorry, not sorry.

    Toast 100%. I don't care how bad the toast is, it can be super embarrassing and spill all my life secrets and I wouldn't care as much as I would if someone proposed. It's not their night.

    Granted, it does matter to me who is getting engaged and how they propose. If they're close to me, I might feel differently. And there's a difference between asking someone privately at the wedding and doing it in front of everyone.

    My brother was a gm in my cousins wedding he was wasted and tried making a speech. People were talking so he yelled over the microphone “shut the f up!” 😖 the most embarrassing thing ever. I’d take the proposal!

    Bad toast. I can’t stand people proposing at other people’s weddings (if they haven’t been pre-arranged).

    A horrible toast. This may sound selfish but oh well...🤷🏽‍♀️. We’ve planned for this day for 16months. No one will take our thunder. Just saying.. propose on your own time. 😂 #NotSorry

    A bad toast.
    I don’t think I would be mad at a proposal but definitely awkward.
    Plus, my bm and gm are hilarious and I’m positive could rescue a bad toast lol

    A bad toast. There’s about a 110% chance something awkward or embarrassing is going to be said at the wedding anyway with it just being family

    A horrible toast. I’d be pretty pissed if someone picked my wedding to propose. That’s just plain rude and inconsiderate of someone else’s special day.

    One of my best friends is a bridesmaid in our wedding, her boyfriend is one of our groomsmen and I would LOVE if he proposed to her (I feel like he's waiting until after our wedding and honeymoon are over, but he's got my blessing).
