As wedding season approaches, it’s essential to brush up on some fundamental wedding etiquette. First rule: don’t steal the spotlight from the couple. Second: avoid being that person (you know who I mean). And third: seriously, don’t overshadow the couple. It’s that crucial. Everyone gets it—except for one particular officiant who thought it was appropriate to pop the question to his girlfriend during the ceremony he was leading.
Imagine the audacity! This guy decided it was fine to propose amid someone else’s special moment, right in the middle of their vows. Seriously, what was he thinking?
A bride recounted this outrageous incident in a letter to a well-known advice column. “My partner and I navigated through dating, parenthood, and building a life together, and finally saved enough for a grand wedding to celebrate our love with family and friends,” she shared. Everything was set for a flawless day, and the atmosphere was filled with joy and excitement. They even chose the husband’s best friend, “Mike,” to officiate. How sweet, right? Wrong.
Mike, it turns out, wasn’t exactly well-versed in wedding decorum. Not only did he propose to his girlfriend “Sara” during the couple’s vows, but he also dedicated his reception toast to gushing over her, completely ignoring the newlyweds. To top it off, he requested a special dance for him and Sara, while the videographer kept cutting to their engagement moments. Talk about inappropriate!
In her letter to the columnist, the bride expressed her frustration, revealing that she and her partner had not spoken to Mike since the wedding. She sought advice on how to handle the situation. While the columnist suggested a mature discussion about Mike’s selfish behavior, Twitter had a lot more to say. Many users quickly condemned Mike’s actions, suggesting that it might be time to cut ties with him.
Some even joked that if they were in the bride’s shoes, the outcome would have been very different. Clearly, the Twitter community has a better understanding of wedding etiquette than Mike. All we can say is, bless his oblivious heart.

In summary, wedding etiquette is essential, and it’s crucial to respect the couple on their special day. When someone oversteps those boundaries, social media is quick to respond.
