Right in the middle of the wedding, the groom's friend and his witness proposed to his girlfriend and diverted attention from the main characters of the celebration. The husband and wife at whose wedding this happened took offense at the witness and wrote to Slate magazine about the situation for advice on what to do. From there, the story went to Twitter, where everyone was sincerely indignant and began to offer the husband and wife plans for revenge, one more insidious than the other.
Twitter user @ashuhhleeee_ posted on her account screenshots of an anonymous couple’s question to writer Mallory Ortberg, who runs an advice column on the online publication Slate, with the comment: “Just look at this nightmare. I would never speak to John or Jane again."
Due to excessive attention, the girl closed her account from strangers, but the essence of the screenshots is as follows: the woman asked the writer what she should do next, because best friend her husband and best man at their wedding, John proposed to his girlfriend Jane right during their ceremony, which distracted the attention of all the guests and ruined the special event for the bride and groom. She and John have not spoken for several weeks, but the woman doubts whether this is right.
The woman begins her letter to the magazine by describing how long it took her and her husband to decide to get married. First they wanted to improve their life, so that later they could arrange an unforgettable wedding ceremony, where you would invite all your relatives and friends. And now, to the great joy of the families of the bride and groom, the wedding day has arrived.
The place was beautiful, everyone was happy, our families were delighted. My mother repeated the word “hallelujah” several dozen times. Everything was so touching... So touching that her husband’s best friend John, and also his witness, proposed to his girlfriend and announced her pregnancy right during the ceremony, the woman writes.
The wedding didn't go according to plan. Behind the enthusiastic exclamations of Jane herself and her family, the vows of the newlyweds could not be heard. The videographer often filmed not a husband and wife, but Jane and John. Even when the witness gave a toast, he talked more about himself and his girlfriend than about the heroes of the celebration. And John asked the musicians to play music especially for his dance with Jane.
The newlyweds' fury knew no bounds. They wouldn't be offended if John proposed to Jane after the ceremony, allowing the husband and wife to enjoy the special moment.
My husband hasn't spoken to John since our wedding. Our mutual friends think John was rude, but my husband shouldn't dwell on it. My husband jokes that the friendship will be renewed when John and Jane write him a check for $40,000 for half the wedding they stole from him.
The woman asks the writer whether she should worry so much about this or not. Mallory Ortberg replied that the main thing here is not to go to extremes. There is no point in hushing up the offense, because the act was still selfish. But there is no need to end a long-standing friendship either. In her opinion, her husband should talk to John, after which their relationship will either become even better or stop completely.
John is your husband's best friend, so your husband should tell him how hurt he was by John's behavior during the wedding.
But Twitter users who found out what happened were not entirely in favor of such a peaceful approach to solving the problem. The situation clearly angered them and they suggested different ideas revenge on John and Jane who ruined this an important event.
I’d go to their wedding and be $40,000 worth of petty. Giving caffeinated candy to the kids, pushing the wedding cake off the table…

We wish you happiness!
It’s like in American films, during a pause a daredevil goes out into the middle of the field and asks his girlfriend to marry him. If your bride-to-be doesn't share your athletic interests, it's best to avoid proposals over loudspeaker. There's nothing less romantic than a large gathering of beer bellies and chewing mouths facing your direction. Just imagine, a girl may well refuse you?
Edible ring
Besides the fact that a girl might choke and suffocate (just in case, I've attached a picture of how to save her in this case), your girlfriend certainly won't want to hunt for her ring in a chocolate soufflé. The worst thing that can happen is that the girl successfully eats the ring, and then spends three days in the ladies' room, waiting for her treasured ring. Better save your time and nerves and use a good old ring box.
During a quarrel
Of course, this may end your fight, but it will sound so insincere. So wash the damn dishes already and save the offer for the next day.
At someone's wedding
Wrong, and there are three reasons for this. Firstly, your lover will not want to share one of the most special moments of her life with anyone else, especially if with a special female in white who spent six months preparing and preening for her big day. Secondly, you will look like an easily suggestible person. Thirdly, there is nothing stupider than proposing to your girlfriend at someone else’s wedding, pulling the blanket of happiness and joy in your direction.
On holiday
This option is only acceptable if you know that she will definitely agree. Otherwise, you simply will have nowhere to go. You can imagine those hostile glances at the pool, tears on the beach and plaintive pleas during breakfast. And all this will last approximately from 7 to 14 days.
Finding out she's pregnant
When you select the right words to answer, use the phrase Well. Then we should probably get married? - would be the wrong choice!
By email/SMS/on Odnoklassniki
Simply no. Forget even thinking about it. The same applies to yellow office papers with answer options - yes, no and I don’t know. This option will only work if you are 9 years old and the invited guests are teddy bears.
During sex
It’s better to joke during the last sweet seconds, but under no circumstances make an offer. Perhaps because after 30 seconds you will already turn over and start snoring.
I hope that you have already started thinking in the right direction, and you will be able to surprise your bride in a good way.
Every girl dreams of an unusual, bright, romantic confession and marriage proposal! About a moment that would make her so happy and be remembered for the rest of her life! But, for some reason, young people are reluctant to fantasize, preferring the traditional banal way of suggesting: “Let’s get married” or “Move in with me,” that the girl, instead of enjoying the happy moment, is upset about this situation for several more days. To make this moment unforgettable, you need to know exactly what women really want.
We offer you as many as 50 original ways propose marriage to a girl and win her heart!
1. Do it the old fashioned way: get down on one knee with a rose in your mouth and a ring in your hand. The location here is no longer important: an expensive restaurant or a noisy intersection, the edge of a forest or the very center of a metropolis. The main thing is the unique romance of the gesture itself.
2. Arrange with the waiter to bring her favorite dessert with a ring inside. (Be careful that she doesn't swallow it).
3. Invite her to the theater and ask the administrator to allow you to go on stage and propose immediately after the performance.
4. Show up at her office in the middle of the day with a red rose, a bottle of champagne and a glass with a ring in it.
5. Write with chalk on the street under her windows: “(girl’s name)! Will you marry me?”
6. Call your local radio station and ask them to air your proposal live at a time when you know she/he will hear it. Dedicate a song to her, for example the romantic “I’m Flying Away with You” by Oxygenz
7. Gather all your friends and family together in some cafe, restaurant or home, and propose your hand and heart.
8. Gather your friends and family around her house and give them signs that say, “Will you marry me?” and stand in front of everyone on one knee, holding the ring in your hands.
9. Arrange with someone to bring her a telegram to work, where your romantic feelings will be described. A couple of minutes after the presentation (she still has to read all this), go in yourself and ask your question.
10. Create an Internet page on the Internet: everything about your life together. Photos, places that mean a lot to both of you. Send her an SMS with the address of your page and a few romantic phrases. The most important thing: do not forget to write your cherished question on the main page of the site.
11. Take a large box, put a smaller one in it, then an even smaller one, and put a ring in the last smallest box. It will be more interesting if each box is decorated as a gift (she will be interested in unwrapping them all). Or you can take a plastic box or something glass and fill it all with foam, and put a ring at the bottom. No one has ever given your girlfriend such a gift!
12. Find a large box and bring it to your loved one at work. Decorate it (the box, not the girl) beautifully and have someone tell your friend that a package has been brought for her. At this time, climb into the box yourself and when she opens the gift, she will see you there - the man of her dreams with a ring in his hand. Go for it!
13. Call her to nature (picnic) and there, “to the sounds of the nightingale,” tell her about your feelings.
14. Get up early, prepare her favorite breakfast, don't forget the rose and champagne. Wake up your beloved with a passionate kiss and ask your question.
15. Or get up a little earlier than your beloved, put a letter with beautiful declarations of love and a ring on your pillow, and retire to the shower. May your awakening be pleasant.
16. Scatter rose petals all over her bed and place a wrapped ring in the center, tell her that you bought her a gift to show how much you love her. When she opens it, tell her that you want to spend the rest of your life with her.
17. Prepare a romantic dinner and place napkins around with inscriptions, for example: the person sitting opposite wants to marry you. Or slide a napkin (use cloth, not paper!) through the ring, and when she unrolls the napkin to place it on her lap, she will find the ring.
18. Take her on a date to the place where you first met, and bring along a bottle of champagne and a couple of glasses to celebrate your engagement (after you propose to her).
19. Bake a cake or order a cake from the store that says, “Will you marry me?
20. Buy your beloved a watch and write: “Let's get married”!
21. Pour her a glass of wine and put a ring on the bottom; when she finishes the drink, the ring will appear.
22. New Year's idea: Hang a ring on the tree and challenge her to find a new ornament.
23. If you are dining at a restaurant, ask the waiter/waitress to write, "Will you marry me?" chocolate cream on a saucer, around her dessert.
24. Prepare her a bath with fragrant candles, throw rose petals into it and after your beloved is comfortable in it, lower a rubber ducky with a ring into the water in front of her.
25. Serve her oysters in bed and place the ring in the shell.

27. Write your proposal on glow-in-the-dark stars and tape them to the ceiling.
28. Explain your proposal in detail in the heat star labels in the dark on the ceiling. When she goes to bed, she will definitely see them.

30. Write your proposal in the cold on the windshield of her car.
31. Invite your girlfriend to go to football (hockey) - after all, your favorite team is playing! Ask the commentator to say your sentence.
32. Make an offer after returning from the store. Let the ring seem to accidentally get lost among the purchases. For example, if you know for sure that your loved one will not miss the chance to enjoy hot donuts, place the ring next to them, and at the same time prepare a touching speech.
33. Go to the beach and write in big letters on the sand: “Will you marry me?”
34. Invite her to take a boat ride and ask your question.
35. Take her up in a hot air balloon, take a bottle of champagne with you and propose and propose romantically.
36. Invite her to a concert of her favorite band and ask one of the participants to propose on your behalf, in such a situation everyone will make concessions to you.
37. Go treasure hunting. Make a small chest, put the ring in it and lock it with a key, and hide the key. Place your clues about the location of the key everywhere (you can at work, at home, throughout the city - use your imagination!). When she finds the key, she can unlock the chest and find the wedding ring.
38. Write a sentence in verse and recite it under her window.
39. Organize a birthday party, invite friends and family and propose.

42. A rainy day is not the time to be sad at home, especially for two loving friend friend to people. Pull on your colorful rubber boots, waterproof jackets and go ahead - conquer the wet sidewalks. Carefully drop something into the puddle and let it pick up the ring itself.
43. On such a day you can afford a luxury car, expensive champagne and a sparkling ring. Give your loved one a real holiday, let her enjoy this time to the fullest. You will need a personal driver who will take you to a picturesque place, leave you for a while, and then rush off to celebrate such a significant event.
44. Are you waiting for your loved one to come home from work? Prepare her a hot bath with plenty of foam, light an aroma lamp that emits the scent of lemon, and decorate everything with rose petals. Let your loved one relax, and then kiss and put a ring on her finger. A beautiful offer in a pleasant environment.
45. Pamper her by waking her up after a sound sleep with a cup of aromatic coffee and a light breakfast served in bed. Place the rose and the ring box on the tray. With sleepy eyes, she may not immediately notice it, but how much joy there will be when she discovers it pleasant surprise. A good start to the day, a prosperous start to a new life together.
