Friends mocking my engagement :(

They’re not your friends. Congratulations on your engagement!

It was a beautiful proposal. I was proposed to on a wet hillside in the middle of the North Yorkshire Moors, I was wearing a big black plastic raincoat and had a mouthful of corned beef and potato salad sandwich at the time.

That was 25 years ago. Its the marriage that matters. Forget your friends peevishness, the size of the ring, where he proposed… is he a good man who will have your back for the rest of your life? That’s all that matters.

Nasty, bitchy so called friends. Perhaps they are actually jealous green eyed monsters. I think your engagement proposal was so lovely especially as your partner remembered where he first told you he loved you.
He sounds a very thoughtful person.
Ditch those ‘friends’ and cross them off the wedding invite list for sure.
Congrats on your engagement.

I’ve been married 25 years and have two grown up DC. My DH proposed pissed in a club. These picture perfect or expensive proposals are for the gram. Idiotic.

At least he took you somewhere. My husband proposed in bed one afternoon after work, no ring, nothing special I was devastated, I said yes cos I wanted to marry him but all the things we'd done and places we'd been when he could have done and didn't. I should have known cos he used to mock people who did special proposal, his best mate did it at the top of the Eiffel Tower. Ignore your friends, he knew you didn't want a public proposal and he did it somewhere that is special to you as a couple. Congratulations!

It’s sounds like a beautiful proposal with extra special meaning behind it. Your friends are simply jealous and I wouldn’t consider them friends at all if this is how they behave. Many congratulations on your engagement.

It was a lovely, meaningful, classy proposal and your " friends" are either image obsessed Insta queens, jealous or both.

I would HATE any proposal that wasn't absolutely private in the moment. It's about you two.

Congratulations!

Your friends sound shallow and possibly envious of you. Don't continue to let them try to pull you down to their level.

Your friends sound horrible! The proposal sounds lovely and personal to you. Congratulations!

Friends support each other.
If you and your fiance are happy thats all that matters. Congrats.

I’m guessing noone is proposing to your friends, so their mean opinions are rather moot. You deserve kinder friends

They sound awful. We went to one of our favourite restaurants where we'd had our first Valentine's Day dinner together and DH proposed there.

Some younger colleagues were like "That was it??" with my proposal story. What more do you want, a song and dance routine?

@UpShitsCreek Time to change your friends.

It sounds like your ‘friends’ are money grabbing, materialistic and rude assh*les. That was a lovely, romantic proposal full of meaning for you both. Congratulations 🥰

Your friends are dicks.

Your DH (to be) sounds lovely. A beautiful intimate, romantic proposal that sounds like it was perfect for you. They are simply jealous!

I just wanted to add my voice to everyone else and say it's a lovely, thoughtful and meaningful way to propose to you.

Congratulations! ❤️

Yes huge congratulations from me too! I think what he did was thoughtful and special, and it has created one of your own private couple in jokes that they won't ever get.

May you have many more.

I hope your time being a bride to be and then a wife is wonderful and everything goes right for you.

Just be aware that you are embarking on a journey that people think they have the right to comment on, saying things that reflect where they are and what they think. They have nothing to do with you. You plan the day you want and tailor it to your selves where possible, and don't take what people say to heart. It is your life and your marriage and your journey and your time in the spotlight x

It is so lovely for him to remember where he first said the three little words. I wish I could remember where we exchanged those words. I do remember my proposal. It was in the bath!!! Don’t tell my kids.

Jesus Christ, as my Granny’s used to say “if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all”

Congratulations on your engagement, you have found a lovely sweet man. Now find yourself nicer friends.

Are your friends single, OP? Or unhappily married? I can only assume they're acting out of spite and jealousy.

Are your friends 9 years old?

'I'd be sick if I was proposed to in my pajamas' sounds like something a primary school child would say.

That sounds like a lovely proposal. Your friends are completely unreasonable.
I was also proposed to in my PJs, DH thought it would be lovely to slip the ring on my finger while I slept for me to wake up to while we were away on a hotel break, it did NOT work and I kept waking wondering why he was poking at my hands, I was absolutely delighted when he gave in and proposed, I couldn’t have cared less what either of us were wearing!
SIL on the other hand was raging at her other half’s proposal being in a local park (a lovely park, with meaning to them both) and told him to wait and propose somewhere more romantic 🙈

Huge congratulations on what sounds like a lovely proposal from a man who listens to you and sounds like he understands what you would actually like.

Your friends can't be real, good, friends if they behaved like that.

Congratulations! 🥂

Im so sorry these women you trusted are being so unpleasant. I’m also sorry to say they are not your friends. No one who loves you would be so unkind. Take a break from them both and don’t even think of getting them involved in your wedding. 🌸 The proposal sounds beautiful- focus on happy t8mes with your fiancé

They're dicks.

Don't let them spoil what sounds like a lovely proposal

This absurd idea that a proposal has to be choreographed and set up and consciously 'romantic' - what could BE more romantic than going to that ordinary place that's special only to both of you, and it sounds like it was a genuine and happy surprise for you?

Your friends sound shallow and unimaginative and a bit unclassy, TBH.
