    Absolutely no!! I'd be majorly peeved if someone did that! Our wedding day is about US!? Not only that I think if h2b had done that I'd feel disappointed that the day we got engaged was really someone else's day

    I think it would depend on who did it and how it was done. I'd like to think anyone that we'd invited wouldn't make a big thing of it, but at the same time weddings are a time for celebrating love and I think the more love the merrier!
    It didn't happen at our wedding, but had it done, I don't think I would have been peeved.

    The epitome of bad manners, unless the person proposing had asked the bride & groom first.
    But if it happened at mine, I wouldn't be upset as long as it was after the speeches

    I wish i could be a bigger person here but no way!

    I would be SO offended about it, i think it's rude and attention grabbing, just like wearing white!!

    My SIL's sister announced her preganancy at their wedding and instead of getting the attention she was after, other guests made comments on how attention seeking she was, just plain rude!

    Another one - my MIL2b mentioned about a white dress she'd seen for the wedding, I just had to say something there and then! I said "ooh i don't know, i'm rather old fashioned in the fact that no one but the bride should wear white at the wedding". Thankfully she was apologetic and said it hadn't even crossed her mind, she just liked the dress. Luckily she is quite traditional too so understood! xxx

    In all honesty, it wouldn't really bother me. I love seeing proposals and would be really happy for them. I personally don't see the point in getting upset over something like this when at the end of the day you're married and people's attention will still be on you for your day anyway. I see where you're coming from for the people who wouldn't like it, but i just don't think it would get to me that much. xxx

    I think it would bother me, rather selfishly perhaps,

    i would have planned the wedding for a couple of years, a lot of time, effort and emotions would have gone into the wedding, so if someone announced their engagement or pregnancy at the wedding, i would be rather disappointed that they couldn't have waited until a day later.

    Rather interestingly, one of my friends who is going to be a bridesmaid when we went wedding dress shopping kept trying to steer the attention towards her - wanting to use my appointment to try on wedding dresses herself (not engaged and her and partner having problems) so i'm rather curious how this may present on the day?

    Call me selfish but after years of dreaming, months of planning and money spent I would be flaming mad if someone did this on our day, we both only plan to do this once and just for one day ask that OUR love be the focus xxx

    my H2B wanted to propose to me on the weekend we went to France for his sisters wedding, i found this out because he talks in his sleep lol i had to ask him about it because i was so worried that i would take the even a tiny bit of attention away from his sisters day. he did say he wasn't going to do it on the day but i could let him do it at all over the weekend because i felt it should of solely been about his sister and her now husband. so if someone did that at my wedding i think it would upset me a fair bit and im the type of person who cant bite their tongue to well lol xx

    It would be a big NO from me. I would be furious, it is the bride and grooms day and it would take the limelight off us two. Don't get me wrong I love proposals but this is one day I think they shouldn't happen. I would hope if any of our guests had this planned that they would ask us beforehand but i would still say no. This has got me thinking now Lol! I really hope this doesn't happen on our day. I might put a note in the invitations saying please refrain from any announcements or proposals on our day (joking). Xxx

    this would be a BIIIIIIIIG no for me i'd find it completely disrespectful. i think proposals should be done privately and intimately anyway but at someone else's wedding would be quite tacky too it would be as bad as some one turning up in a white dress xx

    I was thinking about this the other day. It would not bother me if it was done quietly and between the two people and told us at the end of the night I would be happy for them and as everyone was leaving I would not mind them letting everyone know. On the other hand if it was done over the mic and a big look at us show I would be a bit gutted. But it is a free world and who am I to say what can and can not be done, they are such things as respect though so hope all guests do respect that. We put time into making it a day of celebrating our marriage.
