If you’re going to propose during a reception, this is the way to do it. Because not only are you not stealing the whole show (until this point), but you know the bride and groom are on board with you taking a part of the spotlight for a while.

The bride is getting ready to do the usual tossing-of-the-boquet, but instead she takes everyone by surprise by turning around to look at the awaiting women. Next, she hands off the bouquet to one of her bridesmaids, and promptly turns her around. Who should be waiting there but her boyfriend and [his/her] daughter– and a ring.

I am personally not one for wedding reception proposals, especially if it takes away from the actual wedding that’s going on. However, what amazing friends to have who were not only not upset by this proposal, but in on the surprise! I think this speaks loads for the surprise of the proposal, and the character of the bride and groom.

Congratulations to all!
