She wasn’t pregnant, and she had no clue what the announcement her dad mentioned was even going to be.
As she kept on chatting with her dad, it hit her that her boyfriend clearly was planning a surprise public proposal that night.
Right after hanging up with her dad, she dialed her best friend and demanded to know if she was going to be proposed to.
Her best friend hesitantly filled her in on the secret, and her stomach dropped.
Her best friend had tried to emphasize to her boyfriend that it wouldn’t be a good idea to do a dramatic and very public proposal, but her boyfriend wasn’t interested in listening.
Her best friend also let it slip that she was going to hate what her boyfriend wanted to do.
“At this point, I was very late, and my bf had been texting, saying that I was going to make us lose our reservation,” she said.
“I called him and asked directly if he was planning a public proposal. He couldn’t deny it, and after he told me he’d reserved the entire restaurant for 75 people, I told him that this wasn’t what I wanted and that I’d be happy to attend, but only if he promised not to do it in front of everyone there.”
“He said he’d told some people, and that word got around, and they were now expecting a proposal, so he was going to do it otherwise, we would’ve wasted everyone’s time and money coordinating and getting them down there.”
“I said that if he insisted on doing this in a way which made me uncomfortable, I wouldn’t be coming at all. I hung up at that point and stopped answering because I was hurt.”
Well, her boyfriend felt humiliated, as he had to tell all of her loved ones that the surprise proposal was off and she wouldn’t even be coming to her own birthday dinner on top of it.
