My sisters boyfriend proposed to her at my wedding without asking me: Advice?

I’m sorry but I don’t think what he did was ok. If he had asked you and it was ok then that’s another thing. But it was your day. So bloody inconsiderate.

The amount of nasty comments in this post is ridiculous. Do you not know how to say your opinion without being rude.

You are allowed to feel upset, and don’t let anyone shame you for your feelings! Some girls dream of their wedding day from the time they are a little girl, and having something like this happen can be awful for some women. I think you need to have a conversation with your sister and her new fiancé (mainly cause you said you don’t really know him) about how what he did made you feel.

I would talk to your sister about how u feel… its never appropriate to propose at someone else’s wedding… if someone did that at my wedding I would be furious. It isn’t their day.
Don’t ignore your sister as it isn’t her fault…but make it known that u wernt happy

Yes that’s annoying. I can’t believe the dj allowed this to happen. You have every right to be upset. Not your sisters fault. But the boyfriend is a dick.

Think you are over reacting. Life is too short to worry about this kinda stuff. I feel you have a love that was worth a marriage you should be happy for your sister.

Wow, im shocked at the amount of comments of people saying you are overreacting and that its not a big deal! You are definitely NOT overreacting and it turns your special day into someone else’s. Mind you, a guy who doesn’t even know your family and he is already starting the relationship with your family off like that! Wow, not cool new boyfriend.

You clearly inspired them!

You are NOT overreacting at all. Most of these young girls telling you to get over yourself, don’t have a clue how much time, money and how stressful planning a wedding is big or small. That was your day and he had no right to take the spotlight off of you and your husband. That’s a big red flag for your sister though. Congratulations and I’m really sorry he ruined your big day!

Wait until she gets married and announce your pregnancy at her wedding :woman_shrugging:t2::joy:

Personally, I’d be pissed too but it’s already done and there’s nothing you can do about it, so just talk to her and tell her how you feel. But first, talk to your parents and get their two cents.

He definitely should have asked if you and your spouse were ok with it. Very disrespectful to take away from someone’s day like that without approval. I’d be so mortified if my husband proposed like that without permission. If your sister had no clue, why are you ignoring her though?

If your sister had been dating him for a year or more & he knew the family well, I wouldn’t mind it if he’d waited until the of the reception & would have been a special memory to top off your special day but 3 months and after your 1st dance?

I get that it’s tacky to propose during someone’s wedding without permission but why would he need your parents permission?
They don’t own her
Also if 10 minutes without the spotlight ruins your entire wedding you obviously didn’t get married for the right reasons
A wedding is about your commitment to your partner not about being the belle of the ball

I just thought it as an unspoken rule… you don’t propose at some else’s wedding UNLESS it’s been pre organised with the bride and groom and they are cool with it !!
But again the sister might have preferred her own special moment, so she maybe a little torn up about it, don’t blame her and lose that relationship…
There’s nothing wrong with wanting your own special moments in life … all these ppl saying that’s a narcissistic quality clearly aren’t educated on that disorder
Every human being longs for moments that a purely about them, made for them
We all long for something that’s for us and us only, thats a lot different to being a Narcissist, this word gets used to loosely that’s for sure :roll_eyes:

My sister got knocked up on my wedding night Instead of watching my kids like she was supposed to… The four years following that it was, “this is when I concieved” instead of “happy anniversary”… I get it. Definitely pissed me off. And I did go months without talking to her bc of it. You are allowed to have boundaries and cut people off when they cross those boundaries.

I’m with you on this- a wedding is a big day about you and your husband coming together and likely would have been planned before they even met.
I wouldn’t be mad at the sister, but I would definitely make it clear that whilst you’re happy for her, that was not cool on his behalf and you do not appreciate it one bit.

Okay why are you mad at your sister? Lol That’s just weird. She didn’t know and you should be happy for her. I’m guessing she said yes. The whole point of a wedding is for you to celebrate your union with you significant other with your family and friends. I would be happy and not bothered whatsoever. There’s something else going on here.

It isn’t your sisters fault. She didn’t plan it. It was poor planning and inconsiderate of your future brother in law to do on your wedding day. But at the end of the day he is going to be part of the family and you can’t change what happened. You need to put it behind you and move forward. 3 months isn’t very long of a courtship, let’s hope for your family that their marriage will be successful.

Your sister did nothing wrong

Just gonna throw this out there 1. He was wrong af for doing this. 2. She probably didnt know it was gonna happen so dont be mad at her but still talk to her about how you.feel. 3. If they only been together 3 months chances are it won’t last. I have seen countless couple “get engaged” after 3 or 4 months together and either they end up engaged for 5 years breaking up and getting back together again constantly (toxic) or the relationship ends before a wedding can even happen. Try to take away the good memories of this because you cant change what happened, only your reaction to it.

No one can make you feel anything. You chose to let it ruin your “special day”. No one can take it from you. You control your own emotions. Was he wrong? Probably. A bit rude to intrude, but let it go. You can spend years being upset about something inconsequential or you can let it go. And the fact that you cite how much it costs tells me that the money is more important to you.

Nah I’d be upset too girl. A womans wedding day is a womans wedding day. Now what you should do is announce a pregnancy at her wedding. And if your sister and her mans has an issue with that just tell them the same lame excuses these other people are giving you in the comments. “Dont be selfish, a happy day is a happy day, the day was still about you, don’t be petty.” And call it a day. Personally I hold a grudge until it is paid back in full. Hell I’d even make the petals that the flower girl carries down the isle pink or blue and announce the gender there too. It seems like he rushed the proposal to be literally on your wedding day. My 2 cents though you can take it or leave it :kissing_heart::ok_hand:

I think you’re over reacting. Tbh. It was a cute moment and you should be happy for your sister.

We’ve been together 6 years now with 2 beautiful children. And my family loves my husband.

You are allowed to feel the way you do, let’s not invalidate your feelings. So feel upset about the situation, But you can’t be upset with your sister about it. She probably did not know. So be upset express your self to your sister’s fiance in a respectful manner and then get get over it and enjoy your marriage. It was a moment this guy got caught up in because your wedding must have been so beautiful and he probably felt inspired. We sometimes are not in control of situations but we are in control of our response to it. Try to find joy in your special day and life ahead with your husband and get some peace that it happened

This used to be the norm. He probably should’ve waited till the reception was further along. It was a day of love and he was feeling it. You should probably sit with your sister and be honest about your feelings. Although apparently he didn’t see a problem with it… you are clearly having a problem with it. So it’s a problem. Dont let it take so much from ur day. It was still ur day

I think you’re over reacting, you say it was your day and your moment which it was, you got married and had a beautiful ceremony. Why would your sister being happy ruin that for you?

I would let it go, enjoy your new marriage and the future you have ahead of you together

Unless your sister knew about it too then she’s innocent in the matter, you need to speak with her though because proposing after 3 months together is all kinds of red flags…hes most likely psycho get her out now! On the other hand some times you just know when you’ve met your person but 3 months is WAY too soon to be proposing.
