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.

Oh My! LOL.
Back-In-The-Day, my daddy was a Wedding Photographer. I was his 9-year-old darkroom assistant.
And he used to tell me SUCH stories! hahaha!
If I weren't behind this firewall, I would post a link to Radiohead's "Punchup at a Wedding." One of my favorite songs.
OMG! Who is going to feed them when they are both too fat to take care of each other?
I went to a reception once where the father of the bride was seated in a small side room with some very elderly and disabled relatives. He couldn’t even see head table even though he was paying for all of it.
The marriage didn’t last very long and the father died soon after the daughter divorced. Where did the family decide to have a brunch/reception after the father’s burial? You guessed it - back where the daughter had her wedding reception. The daughter was what you might call ‘fragile’ and the event put her over the edge. Bad scene. Very sad.
My Mum went to a church wedding and in the middle of the reception at the church hall all the lights went out...for a considerable time. When the lights went back on, most of the wedding gifts (much of which was money in envelopes) were gone.
Even less classy is the dress the bride has on. It looks like she needed a double bra. When there’s “more to love” it should be covered with more.
How I Predict Divorice Based on the Wedding Cake
The worst thing I ever saw at a wedding was a teary bride slow dancing with and kissing her FORMER BOYFRIEND. Predictably, the marriage lasted less than 6 months.
Now there's a You May Be A Redneck joke!
I love Radiohead! “Too Many Sandwiches” by the Stereophonics is my favorite wedding song— really seemed to capture most of the weddings I was a part of at the time. I think my wife is glad that we are now out of the wedding demographic if only because I don’t (badly) sing “you bought a sequin dress for a chicken breast, the discos late and he’s overpaid tonight” throughout the buildup to the event.
Years back (in my single days), I unfortunately caught the bouquet. Not sure why because I wasn’t in the group of violent, elbow someone in the eye to catch it girl group. Anyways, another single guy caught the garter and we did the weird garter on my knee thingy to the crazy “old time” stripper music. Afterward, the girlfriend of the guy who caught the garter, walked up to him and in front of God and everyone there.. back handed him across the face and stormed out. Darn near knocked him to the ground. Then everyone just stared at ME! Oh well.. when I got married, we didn’t have the garter tradition. I threw the bouquet to the single ladies group while we were leaving.
Me, too. I’m a huge fan.
I haven’t heard “Too Many Sandwiches,” but the Radiohead and “Thousand Dollar Wedding” by Gram Parsons are my favorite wedding songs.
I’ll have to look into the Sterophonics.
What a crock.
What the heck was a married woman doing in the bouquet-catching mob?
I thought the bouquet-catching mob and the garter-catching mob were explicitly for unmarried people. (First time I attended a wedding after getting married was a relief ... I no longer had to participate in the garter mob.)
Correction noted.
Didn’t “Rev.” Moon used to do mass marriage ceremonies?
Yep, I knew that didn’t sound right, it’s been quite some time since that happened but other than that it left an indelible mark on my memory. lol
