26-year-old woman stops 25-year-old boyfriend mid-proposal after he ignores her warning not to propose at their friends' wedding: “Let them have their moment”

In my line of work, I come across a lot of stories concerning the contentious topic of wedding proposals. After quite a bit of reflection, I've come to the conclusion that I wouldn't really mind if a close friend or family member proposed at my wedding – so long as they asked my permission first! It sort of makes sense if my wedding guests are the very same people that would attend their celebration, and I really don't need the spotlight on me the entire night. However, it is generally considered a tacky move, so everyone involved has to be okay with it.

In our story today, a young woman stops her boyfriend mid-proposal when he starts bending the knee at their friends' wedding. This wasn't an ill-advised stunt; in fact, he was sternly warned by his girlfriend and the bride not to do it. However, he convinced himself that he was right and went ahead with it anyway. Now, our protagonist is wondering if the relationship is worth salvaging.

Wedding proposals are tacky, but it doesn't really matter here. What matters is that she told him that she didn't want that, and he did it anyway.
