'I left my own wedding early after best man rudely upstaged me - nobody noticed'
Weddings are such happy occasions - they're romantic and full of joy and love. But what would you do if a guest at your wedding proposed to their partner during the speeches, which were meant to celebrate you? One groom was left seriously furious when the event that they'd meticulously planned took a turn that totally took the shine off them - the best man proposed.
The man fumed that he and his husband were "having a good wedding until the speeches happened", as "during the best man's speech, he decided to propose to his girlfriend", stating that he thought it was "common sense not to do this."
He took to Reddit's 'Am I the a**hole' forum to explain what had happened at their wedding. He said: "So I (30m) and my husband (34m) just got married a week ago. We were having a good wedding until the speeches happened. Now i thought it was common sense to not do this, but during the best man's speech, he decided to propose to his girlfriend. She said yes and all hell broke loose.
"From that point on, no one paid attention to me or my husband nor paid attention to the event times. People starting eating early, the speeches were cut short after he proposed, on top of that he got the DJ to play him and his girlfriend 'their song'. Which incited a whole bunch of couples to do the same. For about three hours it was just couples running to the DJ to play 'their song' and hogging the dance floor. When me and my husband finally got a chance to dance people were too exhausted and didn't pay attention, they instead went to eat."
The pair became infuriated with the turn of events, and as a result, decided to leave their own wedding. "After several hours of this, I told my husband I didn't really want to be here anymore, and he agreed", he said. "We ended up leaving, the only person we said goodbye to was our parents. Nobody even noticed we had left.
'I don't want children staying up late at weekends - I really need adult time'
"Now here's the problem. Three days after the wedding a cousin of mine asked me when did I leave my wedding, as she never got to say goodbye. I told her we left early because nobody was paying attention nor cared enough to. She said ok and hung up. Now we've been getting calls from all our relatives telling us we're immature and need to lighten up. That we should be happy our wedding made people this romantic."
People were so sympathetic, and were left wondering why anyone would want to "steal the thunder" in that way. One wrote: "Oh my gosh that is the worst that could happen on your wedding day. How on earth could they be thinking it's okay to propose on YOUR wedding day?! Even if you're so stupid to think that's okay, you ask the wedding couple! And that they continued to steal the thunder is so not okay.
"So I get why you left early and that people are calling you that you're being immature. No, just no. Your weddin gday is about you, they should be celebrating you, you are the center of all the attention. Don't budge in saying you're okay with it with your relatives. They're all a bunch of a**holes."
Someone fumed: "You should send them a bill for the party they usurped. Because that was YOUR party NOT theirs, and they had NO RIGHT to do this. Proposing or making huge life announcements without permission at other people's events is tacky and CHEAP."
