Their wedding is an occasion when a bride and groom can reasonably expect for all the attention to be on them. Stealing the newlyweds' thunder is considered a terrible faux pas. And so it is unsurprising that a picture showing a wedding guest proposing to his girlfriend right in front of the bride and groom at their reception has been met with outrage and ridicule online. The picture, uploaded to Reddit this week by an unnamed user who has since deleted their account, has been viewed a staggering 1.36million times.

I went to a wedding once where the mother of the bride was so flamboyant in both her attire and her behavior that she totally embarrassed the bride!
I can still remember a girlfriend of mine, after years of trouble, marrying her true love and having a nice, white wedding. Her very successful brother was just at the point of announcing his upcoming wedding at the reception - until the family told him to shut his trap. He just couldn’t deal with his sister’s happiness and had to quash it.
Not for nothing, but that looks like the bride’s sister. Something tells me she was in on the proposal. But who knows.
“No class move.”
Agreed. Only way to have done this would have been to clear it with the B&G ahead of time, and then I don’t think I would have even done it then.
Comments at the link are hilarious.
Proposing marriage.... during a marriage. Can things get any crazier?
I’d tend to agree looking at the pictures, that the woman may be related to the bride... and the bride may have been in the know.
However social media is not about facts, its about folks looking for a reason to be outraged or voice their opinion about things they know little to nothing about.
Went to a wedding one time with a girlfriend and got pushed into the line of guys trying to catch the garter, not knowing almost anyone at the wedding I felt very uncomfortable participating in that particular ritual so when it was thrown I just stuck up my hand and didn’t even look. Yep, sure enough it landed in my hand and I ended up having to put it on the leg of the chick that caught the bouquet (some other dudes wife) VERY awkward.
“some other dudes wife”
Correction:
“some other dudes girlfriend.....Still awkward.
He pretty much got his arse laughed out of the place.
People watch tv and go on the internet for (mostly) two reasons: to feel uplifted by a positive story, or to feel superior due to someone else’s misfortune. And people use any means necessary to bring down famous/rich people.
I went to a wedding where a brawl broke out and the police had to be called.
Some of the bride’s distant redneck cousins were acting badly, stealing wine, not watching their language, etc... - and some other men in attendance called them on their behavior. Then all hell broke loose
I truly hate those gross rituals. At one of my in-law’s SECOND marriage (on her 4th now), her husband did that charming and loving ritual of pushing her face into the wedding cake.
P.S.: I feel very sorry for you. That was really awful!
Look’s like it to me to.
At least it’s one woman, one man.
He better be the one on top during sex or it might be a short marriage!
The bride looks very happy. Her smile doesn’t look strained. Nobody seems to care about the groom’s feelings.
It looks like the gal being proposed to might be a sister of the bride. If that’s the case the bride should be thrilled that her sister received a proposal. It’s not easy for a chubby gal to get one.
And what’s with the notion of the bride having one day to pretend she is Queen of the May? That’s so juvenile. It’s a day for both bride and groom.
Recently, my wife and I were trying to explain to our 14 year old daughter that freshly married couples pushing cake into each other’s face is hugely disrespectful to everyone, and a horrible thing to do. She just wasn’t getting the point. Finally, I said “Look at it this way- 13 and 14 year old kids think it’s hilarious.”. The kid busted out laughing and immediately got it!
Reminds me of one of my favorite stories:
I was very close to my cousins as we grew up and one of my female cousins was an attractive young lady but, quite simply, “unbalanced”. So she meets a guy and they go down the marriage road. I am, very quietly, doing everything I can to get this guy (a really nice guy, BTW) to wake up and see the writing on the wall, but love is blind.
So at the reception he does the cake thing. Not in a major way, but just kind of smiles and wipes a small amount of icing on her chin. She goes completely berserk, calls this guy every nasty name you can dream up, and runs screaming out of the reception.
6 months later they divorced.
At my husbands sisters wedding, when it was time for her to toss her bouquet to her single friends, I moved to the back. I thought I was out of the way but she threw it extra hard and it hit me in the face. Someone told her that i “caught” the bouquet and she was furious with me for a long time. Finally she confronted me and I was able to convince her of what really happened.
