A man has had to uninvite his cousin from his upcoming wedding after he persistently asked if he could propose to his girlfriend on their big day. The soon-to-be married man took to Reddit to explain that his cousin asked him if he could propose at his wedding over a family dinner and he was so shocked, he initially thought it was a joke.
The man, who remained anonymous, explained: "He told me he was going to propose to his girlfriend, he showed me the ring and everything. I was happy for him, his girlfriend is an amazing woman and I was glad he wanted to take their relationship further.
"But then he asked me if he could do it at my wedding. at first I laughed cause [sic] I genuinely thought it was a joke, but no, he was dead serious. I told him that I'm sorry but I don't want him to do that."
However, the cousin was less than impressed with this and they did not speak for the rest of the night.
But the next day his cousin began calling him still asking if he could propose to his girlfriend at the wedding.
"A few days later he called me again, asking for the same thing. I got mad and told him not to call me about this again and that I wont pick up his calls until after the wedding, and that he can just text me," explained the author.
"He got mad and told me he was gonna do it anyways, and I cant to anything. so I told him he was not welcomed there anymore and I'll make sure he wont be there.
"I told his girlfriend, that unfortunately they wont be at the wedding because of a fight. I didn't tell her about the proposal, would be unfair towards her."
However, the news of the cousin being uninvited spread and soon his aunt was calling him to say his cousin should be invited and she would not come if the cousin could not.
The bride-to-be agreed with her husband that he should not come if he wants to propose on the day as did the rest of the man's immediate family.
"I've talked with my mom and she's also taking my side, but my cousin is still very mad," he explained.
"I honestly feel bad and selfish because maybe it really wasn't that big of a deal, and I could've shared my big day, but then again, there are better places to propose and most women wouldn't wanna be proposed to at another persons wedding."
Many have been quick to support the author in response with one person saying: "The reason your cousin wanted to propose at your wedding wasn't to share your day with you, but was so he could have a romantic setting with all his family and friends there...FOR FREE."
While another person penned: "Why should you pay for this huge event and pour your heart and soul into it and then they just get down on one knee to take the glory for themselves? Your cousin is super selfish. Especially after hearing no and then getting upset."
