She Didn’t Want Her Sister’s Fiancé To Propose At Her Wedding, But He Still Tried To Anyway, And All The Commotion Actually Caused Her Dog To Go Missing
Sometimes, people get so caught up in the romantic atmosphere of a wedding that it makes them want to plan one as soon as possible. Some people even consider a wedding the perfect setting to propose to someone.
However, the bride and groom may not be okay with that, as they want all the attention at their wedding to be on them.
One woman told her sister’s fiancé she did not want him to propose at her wedding. When he tried without her permission, chaos ensued.
She recently married her husband Alex at a wedding their friends and family attended. She had been planning their wedding for a year and was looking forward to it.
Three days before the wedding, her sister Ella called her and Alex and asked a question about her boyfriend, Mark, who had been dating her for two years.
“Ella called me up and asked if Mark could propose to her at my wedding,” she said.
“She thought it would be romantic to share the moment with the family gathered. I was stunned because I felt like that would take away from our day, a sentiment Alex shared. We politely declined her request, explaining that we wanted the day to focus on our union, and suggested maybe doing it at another family event. Ella was clearly upset but didn’t push further.”
When the day of her wedding arrived, things were going great. Her ceremony went by without a hitch, with her dog walking down the aisle at the ring bearer. The reception was going very well until it was time for people to make speeches.
“The best man had just finished his speech when suddenly Mark stood up, tapped his glass, and started making his own speech,” she recalled.

“It quickly became clear he was about to propose. I locked eyes with Alex, and we [were] both shocked. Before I could react, my uncle, who knew the situation and is known for being quite blunt, stood up and literally shouted, ‘Not the time, Mark!’ Mark sat down, red-faced, and the room was awkwardly silent. My father then tried to smooth things over with a toast, but the mood had shifted. Ella left the room crying, and Mark followed.”
Unfortunately, the drama didn’t stop there. During the reception, one of her cousins was responsible for watching her and Alex’s dog, Toby.
But when the cousin went to chase after Ella and comfort her during the chaos, Toby slipped out of his collar and ran away.
For two hours after the uncomfortable speeches, most guests were looking for Toby or concerned for Ella. There was hardly any celebrating or festivities, as the reception had turned into a dramatic rescue mission.
Thankfully, Toby was found and returned to the venue safely, but at that point, everyone was emotionally exhausted and not in the mood to party.
“The next day, my parents and several other relatives called me and Alex, blaming us for the drama because we didn’t let Mark propose as Ella had wanted,” she added.
“They argued it would have just been a small moment and not a big deal. Ella isn’t speaking to me, and my relationship with some of my family has been strained ever since.”
Should she apologize to Ella and Mark, or do they owe her and Alex an apology for killing the vibe at her wedding reception?
