“Everyone gasped, and instead of cheering for us, the crowd swarmed them. People were recording, congratulating, the whole nine yards. It completely derailed the moment,” she wrote, per People.

The marriage ceremony photographer and videographer also obtained caught in the frenzy, a lot to the dismay of the girl in white.

“My husband says we should just let it go because ‘it’s done and over,’ but honestly I feel robbed of one of my special moments,” she confessed.
Unsurprisingly, Redditors had been fast to weigh in — and most sided with the OP, calling the surprise proposal “tacky” for hijacking her big day.
One commenter didn’t mince phrases: “It is extremely rude to hijack someone else’s event.”

And for those who like their drama with a facet of humor? “I’d be sending this girl and her man an invoice for the portion of the wedding they stole. Photographers and videographers included.”
Some Redditors tried to soften the blow, noting that if it only lasted a few minutes, “then that happens anyway when someone catches the bouquet.”
But most commenters said one thing along the traces of: “It’s tacky to propose at someone else’s wedding. Especially without permission.”
