Re: Proposals at Weddings?
I think its rude to propose at someone else's wedding, and I also think it's of poor taste to propose at other big events like someone else's engagement party, someone elses shower or anniversary party. I don't know if I would make a big deal about it on my wedding day if someone did that, but I'm sure they will feel stupid when everyone is talking about them in a not so good way.

Re: Proposals at Weddings?
Completely inappropriate.
You shouldn't have people celebrate your engagement at someone else's wedding.

I agree.
Had it happened at my wedding, I would have congratulated them and kept on celebrating - no use crying over spilt milk. BUT I would forever think about how incredibly rude it was!

Re: Proposals at Weddings?
I don't think it is appropriate. Let the couple who is hosting the wedding enjoy their day without an attention hog getting on the band wagon.

Re: Proposals at Weddings?
I would be furious if it were my wedding day, and the newly engaged couple would know how I felt. I would not be able to hide it, even if it was my wedding day. I did have a concern that this would happen on my day, and I brought it up to the couple randomly (using someone else as an example of course). It didnt' happen though thank goodness

Re: Proposals at Weddings?
that reminds me of my shower. DH's aunt arrived with her new soon to be daughter in-law (was not invited..never met her) She went up to me and introduced me to her and said, she's getting married too! So, she was not invited and she's getting married too...
good...nice...
I'll never figure out some people.

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.
I agree....
although- I don't think I'd be thrilled if they stopped the party to make a big show of it. As long as it is done quietly OR they ok it with me first- I see no problem.
ETA: I don't think it is appropriate for someone to plan something like this- but if it happened I'd be ok.

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
I agree.
A wedding day is such a special event - and therefore, deserves it's own day.
And - the same thing goes for a proposal - it is also a very special moment in someone's life and deserves it's own day too.

Re: Proposals at Weddings?
Wanna hear something sick? My Dad's girlfriend, who I absolutely can't stand (she's an ex now), asked my father if he would say yes if she proposed to him at my wedding. I almost beat the girl with a bat. No way is it appropriate. The bride and groom should have all of the attention that day. And the couple getting engaged deserve their own special moment as well.
On a side note, our friends told us they were pregnant on our wedding day, but they had the courtesy to wait until after the wedding when we were at the bar. I didn't mind that one bit.

My brother and SIL announced that they were having another baby the day of the RD. I didn't mind at all either. I was thrilled for them.

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.... 
Agreed...at our wedding, someone came to talk to me about someone else's wedding (they weren't even engaged yet!and, well, it was someone I wasn't fond of) and I got a little upset by it...(did NOT ruin the day, just a *** moment, KWIM?)

I'd have no problem with it. BUT I would hope the proposer (is that a word lol) would ask bride and groom first.
My thoughts exactly.

Re: Proposals at Weddings?
Someone who proposes at someone else's wedding is really attention starved
I would not like it if i was the bride, I would not like it I was a guest, and I would be mortified if I was on the receiving end of the proposal

ITA and think that it is in very poor taste.
