I’m still trying to wrap my head around this.
My husband and I got married a few weeks ago. It was honestly one of the best days of my life everything felt so full of love, and I was really proud of how it all came together. My maid of honour is my cousin, and we’ve been close since we were little, so having her stand by me on such a big day really meant a lot. So speeches start. She stands up and gives a quick toast, which I thought was sweet but shorter than I expected. Then she suddenly turns to her boyfriend and starts talking about their love story. Next thing I know, she’s pulling out a ring and asking him to marry her. Right there. At my wedding. In the middle of the speeches. People started clapping and cheering like it was a planned part of the night. I was honestly in shock. I didn’t even know how to react, I just smiled through it because I didn’t want to make a scene. But now that some time has passed, I can’t stop thinking about it. It felt like a boundary was crossed, like our moment was taken from us a little. I don’t want to be dramatic or petty, and I do want to be happy for them, but I also kind of feel hurt.
Is it weird that I’m still bothered? Has anyone else had something like this happen? I could really use a sanity check here.
