Proposing at a reception

And while we’re talking about WTFs today…

Apparently, there is a happening at weddings that surprised even me. According to reports, there are situations where the bride, who traditionally throws their bouquet behind them to the waiting throng of bridesmaids, has worked out a plan with the partner of one of those bridesmaids. The bride proceeds to not throw the bouquet, but instead walks it over to that bridesmaid and hands them the bouquet. Unbeknownst to that bridesmaid, the aforementioned partner proposes right there on the spot, in the middle of the reception.

I heard about this and I was kind of shocked. I guess it’s okay, as long as the participating bride is supportive of it. But that aforementioned partner better be damn sure the bride is onboard and wholeheartedly supportive.

I can’t imagine the rage of a surprised and unaware bride. Oof.
