Although romantic, it seems like kind of a selfish thing to do. It's supposed to be the bride and groom's special day, when it's supposed to be all about them. To make a big commotion by starting YOUR engagement right then and there seems wrong to me, so i would never do it. What do you think?

agreed, It is tacky. especially if the person wants to make a big announcement with the engagement in that setting.I would find it to be very morally wrong and rude.
Now if its just something that person wants to keep between himself and the other person,like to lean over and ask if they will marry them.Then it isn't as bad. Sometimes something as intimate and special as a wedding can spark the same feelings in others and cause them to realize its what they want as well and therefore cherish the moment.

Yes, it is tacky and rude. I feel like they would be stealing the attention away from the bride and groom. There's another time and place for them to propose, not during a bride and groom's special day.

Well I would think IF the proposer asked the bride and groom permission to propose, that would be ok.
If they didn't ask, I would be a tad miffed, but also flattered that they chose our reception to propose.
So it all depends on how the bride and groom would feel.

In a scene in the movie 'Working Girl' it happened at the couple's engagement party/shower. I thought it was tacky in the movie. I can't believe that it might actually happen in real life.
Weddings do seem to spur proposals, but yes, it should not be announced during any part of someone else's wedding activities. That includes showers/parties/ etc.

I think it would be really cool (I guess that I'm in the minority for responses for women here, however). You might want to bring it up with the bride and groom before the wedding to see how they feel about it. They might think it's cool as long as it isn't a surprise to them, but if they don't think it would be appropriate, wait until they drive off after the reception, then pop the question to your lover.

Don't propose at the reception....that is for the bride and groom, not the bride and groom to be. Instead propose after you leave the reception or the next morning, not before cause that's still stealing their thunder.

I think you are totally right. That is the bride and groom's day. The day you get engaged is suppose to be a special day for the two of you and you dont want to share that day with another couple

I think it is pretty inconsiderate. Maybe not as big a deal for the groom but a HUGE deal for the bride. You would totally be stealing her thunder on her big day. I totally agree with you that it is not the way to go.

A little of both, a friends wedding reception is about the people getting married, stealing their thunder would not be very nice.

I do not think that it would be very appropriate. It would be stealing the thunder of the couple getting married, plus your relationship would be forever linked to theirs.
Instead, propose a month earlier. That way she can get ideas for your own wedding from the one you're attending, and it will enhance her excitment.
