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

I'm all about romance, so I would love to witness a proposal... of course it would be better with approval so we could suggest the best timing, like towards the end!

Acquaintances of mine set this up a few years ago. I only saw photos, but it looked so cool! The bride got ready to toss the bouquet but instead placed it in her friend's hands then her boyfriend took over. Their wedding is in a few months now, and the other couple is in the wedding.

Bad toast, I'd be upset if someone proposed at my wedding!

I'll take the proposal. If it's planned right and at the end such as right after the bouquet and garter toss. Guy who gets the garter proposes to the one who got the bouquet very romantic and it's the last ten mins of the reception before our exit

A horrible toast is fine with me.

Proposing at someone else's wedding is selfish, tacky, and shitty. The bride, groom, and their families put a lot of work, time, and money into planning a wedding and it's not right for someone to use that as an opportunity to make it all about themselves.

Never understood the desire to propose at someone else's wedding in front of THEIR guests and family. Wouldn't you want your own special moment?

Bad toast, because a microphone can be turned off, my fury at someone using my wedding to piggyback their proposal would probably never burn out

The proposal, for sure.

I would be seriously pissed off if someone proposed at my wedding, but I would rather be angry than embarrassed. I am not doing toasts at my wedding at all because I know I would feel embarrassed and awkward even if the toast were amazing.

A horrible toast. I cannot fathom the saltiness of myself if someone proposed at my wedding.

Horrible toast. I would be pissed if someone proposed at my wedding.

I'm at a wedding right now and the officiant just said he's not ordained and he doesn't know why he's up there. He also said he lost his paper and is ADD - this is why you hire professionals. And I think he just outed the couple as already being married!

but for the question I would prefer the toast!

View Quoted Comment Haha I totally agree with you. You only have this one special day. They could wait till the day after to ask that special someone

I'd take the proposal, it'd at least be coming from a place of love (even if extremely tacky) but a bad toast can really be awkward!

Honestly, neither would really bother me. I don't like uncomfortable situations, but at that point it's party time. I'll have amazing memories forever.

Horrible toast. if someone steals my thunder on my day, we're legit FIGHTING

I'd say a proposal. I hope it doesn't happen at ours, but I wouldn't let it ruin the night.

I'm honestly a little worried about the BM's toast - he laughs a lot while he's talking and is sometimes unintelligible. I guess at least if he says something awkward, there's a good chance that no one will understand him.

Goodness! How did that wedding turn out in the end?

Again, another great reason to elope!!! I dont have to worry about either, which is good because I'm on the fence with this one. Everyone has made really good points for both answers

I'll take the horrible toast.

A bad toast is something to laugh about later, but a proposal at the wedding is just stealing the limelight from the bride and groom. Unless they were both close friends of ours, he was thinking about proposing and happened to have the ring on him, AND they both caught the bouquet/garter- then I might ok it because that kind of timing just is perfect. lol

Horrible toast!
