Proposals at Weddings?
What are your thoughts on this?
I've never seen it done, nor have I had it done? (make sense?)
IDK, if it's really that big of a deal. If it was my BIL proposing to this GF, I'd be soo happy for them.
Thoughts?
poll should aslo have - conngrats to the newly engaged couple, no big, and of course other.

Re: Proposals at Weddings?
i honestly think it should be done on another day.. you dont want to take any attention away from the bride and groom.. it just seems a bit much

Re: Proposals at Weddings?
I'd have no problem with it. BUT I would hope the proposer (is that a word lol) would ask bride and groom first.

I agree on that point. It's not like a "i got so caught up in the moment during the bride and grooms first dance, I HAD to ask my gf to marry me."

Re: Proposals at Weddings?
I think it's very inappropriate to take the limelight off of the bride on her day (even the groom takes a backseat on that day...  )
A proposal changes the focus to the "other" couple, and I really don't see that as being very tactful....

Totally agree
It takes the couple more than a year to prepare for the big day. The focus should be on them

Re: Proposals at Weddings?
So, if it happened at your wedding, what would you do?
call more attention to it, but getting annoyed at the proposee. Or, say wow, that's great, congrats and move on the next part of your day?

if it happened to me.. i would just say congrats and move on.. not make a big deal out of it.. even though i thought it was rude in the first place. but will NEVER let it ruin MY day.

immeidately announce that i'm pregnant!!!!!!!!!!
i think its rude to do--but if it happened, i'd just say congrats and then i'd get the DJ to continue the party. i think most guests would recognize that it was a rude thing to do and wouldn't want to make a big deal out of it.

Re: Proposals at Weddings?
I wouldn't be offended or upset if someone had did this at my wedding.. but I am not most brides.
If I were getting the proposal - I would probably wish that he had chosen something a little more private and intimate. I am not the scoreboard or crowds type.
No matter where or when the proposal happens I am always going to be thrilled when 2 people that I love express a desire to be together forever.

Re: Proposals at Weddings?
I would be more annoyed if I was the one getting proposed to..I wouldn't want it at someone else's wedding.

Re: Proposals at Weddings?
i know someone who got engaged at a family member's engagement party and then got married before them!
I wish I could say that I would be the bigger person, congratulate them and move on
BUT
I think I would have cried - it was the ONE day that was about me and DH and when an engagement is announced it is almost MORE exciting then the wedding because it has that big SURPRISE factor to it. . .

Re: Proposals at Weddings?
I think that if they ask the bride and groom if it's okay, and they are fine with it, then it's okay. I also think it depends on how close you are to the couple.

Re: Proposals at Weddings?
If someone did that at my wedding I would have no shame in kicking their a$$. I just think it it is sooooooooo tacky and it lacks class.

I agree.
But if it did happen at my wedding, I would just congratulate them and move on. Ask the DJ to play a kick a$$ song and get everyone out dancing with us
