He Kicked His Best Friend’s Fiancé Out Of His Wedding For Proposing During The Ceremony
In recent years, imposing your ego on another person’s wedding day has become a phenomenon, with wedding guests proposing to their paramours while they attended another person’s ceremony.
However, the Reddit community seems to firmly believe this is a cheap ploy to take advantage of a beautiful venue, a rapt audience, and complimentary engagement photos that a wedding ceremony would provide.
This man was thrilled to be marrying his fianceé Jessie and asked his friend of 20 years, Mark, to be his best man.
Mark came out to him and had started dating his now-boyfriend, Dennis. However, Dennis has demonstrated shady behavior in the past, including cheating on Mark and even hitting on him.
This has tainted his view of Dennis, even as the couple’s relationship seemed headed in a healthier direction.
So when Dennis asked his permission to propose right before Jessie walked down the aisle at their wedding, he was clear and kind in his rejection of the idea.
While he respects their relationship and hopes they have a wonderful future together, he told him no for the following reasons; “I wanted the ceremony to go along with Jessie’s plan, and because we had already told Jessie’s cousin he couldn’t propose during the wedding.”
So he responded that he’d “appreciate it if Dennis were to propose at a different time.” When Dennis agreed, he thought the whole issue was squashed.
Until his wedding day, when Dennis boldly got on one knee and began proposing to Mark while he was standing at the altar with the groom.

While all involved stared in shock, he wrote, “one of my other Groomsmen interrupts and takes Dennis away as he resists and screams that I’m only not allowing him to do this because of my ‘inherent homophobia.'”
Naturally, Redditor’s went off in the comments about how rude and self-centered Dennis’ actions were, reassuring the groom that he did nothing wrong in disapproving of the bold gesture.
One commenter condemned Dennis’ actions, writing, “He asked, was turned down, and then made the entire ceremony about himself anyway.”
Others expressed their wishes that this causes Mark to rethink their relationship entirely; “I really hope this is an eye-opener for Mark and that he will see how selfish Dennis is and how he disrespected his closest friend on such an important day for you.”
And it seems as though Mark is already leaning in this direction, according to a comment the groom wrote updating invested Redditors.
“Dennis was removed before the ceremony and never showed up to the reception,” he clarified in the post’s comments section.
“Mark stayed the whole way through, and from what I’m gathering from Mark it’s put a bit of strain on their relationship and mark has not said yes as of now.”
