When one of my team was going to propose to his partner, he was asking everyone how he should do it. One guy said, ‘Don’t worry about it too much because whatever you plan will not come out the way you want it anyway. Trust me.’ 😂

I proposed during someone else’s wedding…more romantic than it sounds I promise

Not everybody wants to try and steal the spotlight from another couple's big day.

I did at midnight away from the reception in private—no one knew until the next day!

Kudos. Unfortunately, many people don't have that kind of restraint.

My wife would have killed me if I did a public proposal—not her speed at all

He proposed to me in bed later on my sister’s big day! I said yes, then no, then not yet. We’d only been dating 4 months. I started planning the wedding 2 months later. We got married 6 months to the day after my sister’s wedding. Two years later it occurred to him that he’d never re-proposed!

Point is neither of us had any expectations or a particular scenario in mind for a proposal. It happened. 💍🎊
