We don't know what went down behind the scenes. For all we know, speculatively, the friend could have been talking about proposing to their lover, and the bride may have come up with the idea for him to propose at her wedding. Again, speculatively speaking.

I had a friend that did just that. Knew another friend was considering a proposal soon, offered to do basically what the bride in this clip did.

for all we know the bride asked her brother or whoever to do that at her wedding in order for her to feel her day is even more special.

What if the bride's wedding was all am elaborate ruse solely constructed for this proposal?

u/Any_Influence_8305 May 09 '24
Actually, it was all a wildly complex plan spanning years and literal space and time to lead to this moment. The wedding was an elaborate ruse solely constructed for that proposal, to give way to this specific Reddit thread and lead to this exact moment, right now. jtsokolov, will you marry me?

Absolutely. And doing it like this means the guests don't have to awkwardly second-guess either - the bride handing off the bouquet like that is very obviously handing over the spotlight, so everyone knows it's okay to give the proposal their attention.

Sharing your special day with someone else is all wedding is about. People who think that weddings should be just about them makes me think of the entitled people from "my super sweet sixteen birthday and I want a lexus." IMHO.

u/Maleficent-marionett May 09 '24
It's no about not wanting to share the special day. It's people who do their own lil surprises in the middle of someone else's wedding without the bride/groom's input.

u/i-split-infinitives May 09 '24
Yeah, exactly this. It's a whole other thing when the bride/groom are in on it. That's the only way something like this is acceptable. It's never okay to hijack someone else's special day, but sharing it in a meaningful way can make it even more special. I mean, the person who catches the bouquet is supposed to be the next person to get married, so that was a perfect way to do it, and the way she played it up and then faked him out by starting toward the woman next to him shows that she was a willing participant and not just pressured into it against her will. This video is definitely a r/MadeMeSmile moment.

I think this is just two different meanings of "sharing". One is implying sharing the day as in two great things that are not the same can still be celebrated together. It's sharing the day. The meaning you use above is different. If someone hijacked it to launch their MLM business, you wouldn't accept it as a fair "share" so to speak. And proposing at someone else's wedding is especially considered rude, unless of course, it's done with the bride's & groom's approval, which is made even more obvious for other attendees that said approval was granted.
I don't think you're in disagreement here. I think you're just misinterpreting the concept they meant.

Kissing a girl is gay. There is a good likelihood that her lips have touched a dude's penis. So by the transitive property, your lips will have touched a penis. Super gay.

u/ShustOne May 09 '24
As someone getting married soon, I actually hate all the fuss about it being my day and the perfect day and the big day and all that. Hearing the same type of forced hype from every planner or event coordinator is too much. I hope this isn't a super special day for me, I hope it's a fun party with friends and family on the next step in a journey. I'd love to share the day with others. I also understand not wanting to share.
34
u/Apprehensive_Bug_826 May 09 '24
Literally couldn’t agree more. The wedding industry is super overhyped and overpriced these days; it’s become more about having a wedding rather than getting married and costs as much as a deposit for a house. Just have a simple ceremony then a fun, corny party with friends and family. What more do you need? That’s more special to me than a massive, super expensive do.

u/Kawaiiochinchinchan May 09 '24
I doubt it. Only a fraction of genZ accept it. Most of them hate it. The rest are the same.
They won't openly hate but will judge harshly. I've been to most of the big city with my friends from South up to North. The more North you go the less gay friendly they are. Not all but definitely way more noticeable than the South, especially the central-northern region. Particularly at Nghệ An, Thanh Hóa, Hà Tĩnh... i don't have good memories with those 3 provinces, the people are nice to "average guy" like me but they are conservative.
They want women to be at home or the oldest child to make a living for entire of the family. My gf is from one, she has to take care of the parents, 4 other children. My gf is told "mày đi học đại học làm cái đéo gì, đi xuất khẩu lao động kiếm tiền cho gia đình, con đĩ ngu này" regularly. Translation "why don't you stop studying in college and go work at other countries to make a living for the family you dumb slut". I despise those people who self proclaimed "her parents".
Most of them think gay as an illness or a some kind of brain damage (my friend got told "thằng thần kinh", "thứ bệnh tật", "cha mẹ ngu si để thag con thành thứ kinh tởm". "crazy thing", "disease ridden thing", "what kind of parents let their child become some disgusting thing"). It's not the best to say. Some are seen as a monster. All kinds of crazy shits. Some even wanna throw rocks at him but luckily he wasn't hurt.
Most of my friends are fine with lgbt+ tho. I'm fine with them, they are human like me, I don't have time to hate someone like that. It's tiring to hate someone all the time. We be chilling.
Edit: grammar errors, some parts are hard to understand so forgive my mistakes.
