Only way it's acceptable imo. And the person proposing (and the woman being proposed to) should be close to the bride/groom. Just would be odd as hell if you second cousin removed by marriage wants to use your wedding to propose their gf that you've never even met before.



I mean...as long as the guy isn't interrupting reception activities to propose and makes it a private moment that happens to happen at the reception I think it's not that big a deal.

I could see someone wanting to do this if the wedding was a destination wedding someplace really cool.

I would never do it, as I would hate to take away from someone elses big day. But I am indifferent if someone chose to propose at my wedding(whenever that time is
In fact, say if it was one of my best friends id be all for them using my wedding to propose personally.

Everybody is different but all my previous girlfriends and likely future fiancé are not the type of females that would be cool with being proposed to at another persons wedding

Personally, I'd never do it, regardless if it was a destination wedding or not. I'd never want to steal my friends limelight, because it would be about him and not about me. Sometimes you have to take a back seat and simply enjoy the ride if it's a destination wedding.

Only some attention whore would propose on their friends wedding week.

That's super fricking trashy. Distracts from the brides day. If I were her father, I'd likely had them escorted out.

Well they did ruin dude's Saturday all up, making him get cleaned up and put on clothes and all. Nobody wants to go to a wedding. Might as well score some points.

It's trashy. They might say, "I got approval from the bride and groom", that's bullshite. The truth is a lot of brides would feel too awkward to say no. You shouldn't put the bride and groom in that situation. Let them have their 4 hours.

I wouldn't even ask the bride for permission. I'd get sloppy. Cut right into the best man speech and say, "Billy Jean, where are you honey?" "Marry me or I'm going to frick your sister"

I couldn't even begin to imagine what my wife's reaction would have been if some idiot even thought about asking permission to purpose at our wedding.
