He plans an awkward proposal at his friend's wedding.

‘I just wanted this to be a special day about only us.’
When it comes to wedding etiquette, there are some pretty standard rules: don’t wear white, don’t ‘object’ before they say ‘I do’, and definitely don’t propose to your significant other.
However, one man took it one step further than most and asked to propose during his best friend’s ceremony.
The 27-year-old groom shared the story on Reddit, explaining that his best friend had been helping him manage the ‘stressful’ wedding planning. But things took an unexpected turn when his friend asked if he could have a ‘talk’ with the couple.
During the conversation, he asked if he could propose to his girlfriend, not just at their wedding, but during the ceremony. The groom said the venue had a patio that overlooked the ocean, and his friend thought that would be a nice place to propose during the ceremony.

Unsurprisingly, the couple felt uncomfortable with the idea and told their friend they would have to discuss it privately. The groom said his friend visibly seemed annoyed, and when they told him that they wouldn’t be allowing it, he got ‘extremely mad’. He began yelling at them, calling them selfish and saying that after being friends with them for so long he expected better.
The groom said he has tried to reach out to his friend to explain why they didn’t want him to propose at their wedding, but they haven’t been able to reach him.

The Reddit comments were sympathetic towards the groom, with many agreeing that proposing at someone else’s wedding – whenever you choose to do it – is a hard no. Others said it is an ‘unwritten rule’ that you shouldn’t take the spotlight off the couple at a wedding.

One user summed it up best: ‘He wanted to turn your moment into his moment. You’re not being selfish. He is.’

It’s clear that the couple had every right to be ‘selfish’ about their special day, and it’s understandable why they weren’t comfortable with the idea of their friend proposing during the ceremony.
Hopefully, the couple and their friend can eventually reach a resolution and find a way to move forward.
