Friends mocking my engagement :(

Aww that sounds lovely. Your ‘friends’ are not. Congratulations

Ignore them!!!!
It sounds absolutely perfect!!!!

Proposal sounds absolutely perfect to me, no offence but it sounds like those arseholes friends are more concerned about showing off for social media than the actual proposal. Congratulations on your engagement 🥰

OP it sounds like a wonderful and thoughtful engagement. My DH proposed in our bed at home it was perfect 🥰 it was low key and very us and relaxed.

ignore your friends they reek of jealousy! (Would reconsider if they were on your bridesmaid list) 🩷 happy engagement!

Congratulations on your engagement 💍 Wishing you many happy years together.

You need new friends. Luckily you have a thoughtful husband to be.

Surely an engagement should be thoughtful and personal, not just pics for the gram…..

My husband proposed as we drove down the A13 in Dagenham. No shade on the ‘Nam’ but you could not get less insta worthy🤣 He had just bought the ring and could not wait to propose. Married 21 years this year, very happy together, weathered storms, couple of kids. All the important stuff that partners in life do.

Mine didn’t propose to me at all 🤣. It had been 4 years, and we already had our son, so we went ring shopping together and after waiting a few days for him to propose I said, can I just have the ring now please.

Together for 22 years, married for 16…your friends are dicks

Congratulations. It was a heart felt genuine proposal. I don't get the modern trend for these competitive oneupmanship engagement events, where it's style over substance.

Any proposal from the person you love and want to marry is the perfect proposal.

I'd be happy to have a ring drawn on in biro if it meant I got to marry the love of my life.

Your friends are not friends if that is their reaction.

His proposal was perfect for you and that is what matters. It shows how much he loves you, that those words were important to him, and that he knows you really well.

I'm sorry the thoughtless people in your life have taken the shine off the moment. I'd think twice about including them in the wedding if that is how they behave.

Your friends are dicks. The end. Oh and congratulations on your engagement!

They are horrible and not your friends. even if they would have preferred a different proposal they should have kept their opinion to themselves I would say to them I feel very differently about both of you now for not being happy for me about my proposal and being nasty so don't expect an invite to the wedding because you probably would have something to say about that too . He proposed somewhere meaningful. congratulations.

My husband proposed to me as I was crawling into bed in my winsy PJs after a night shift! I didn’t give it any headspace tbh. Thankfully years before all the Instagram bollocks!
Edit to say Congratulations 🥳

Congratulations on your engagement 🎉🎉🎉🎉
You deserve better friends

Beware of these friends. That was a spiteful thing to say. Don't risk them as bridesmaids.

Many congrats, what lovely news.

they sound v jealous to me, the more I move though life, I have learned the thing that makes people more jealous than anything else in life, are others in good relationships.

Congratulations OP! This is lovely.
they are incredibly rude to comment anything like that. Your response is what they should validate and support as your long term friends

ex friends I think

will you tell them how much it wasn’t kind ?

Very mean of them.

Well I guess that saves you the bother of having them as bridesmaids.

I think it sounds perfect!! Very romantic and special to you both. I don’t see the point of over preformed proposals.

Sounds lovely OP, he sounds like a keeper!
I hate those ‘performance proposals’. I’m so glad mine from DH was just unplanned and spontaneous.

Keep your man, dump your friends..........

According to the votes at least 38 posters think the boyfriend should have made an Instagram proposal.

What is wrong with them?

Just enjoy your lovely fiancé and stop thinking about how your friends aren't nice.

What a beautiful, unique, romantic proposal; congratulations OP.

Now, let’s look on the bright side, you can save a fortune on wedding reception catering by not inviting these morons. Save the rest of your wedding planning and big day for your real friends.

You need new friends. A proposal of marriage is exactly that, not an Instagram moment. Your boyfriend chose a place that meant something to you both. Surely that's the whole point??!

Your friend's might very well want grand gestures, lots of people and photographers at their wedding proposals, that's their choice. However, that's not real life is it, it's a performance to share on social media.

Your boyfriend's proposal was sincere and genuine. In my mind, that's what matters, not where it was or what you were wearing!

My husband proposed in my childhood bedroom at my parents house!! He bought a large heart shaped box of chocolates, took the middle chocolate out, and replaced it with the diamond engagement ring. Yes, I was dressed up to go out though as it was St Valentine's Day!

Your friends are stuck up cows. DH and I agreed it was a good time to get married while sat on our sofa (no big proposal) then got married in Vegas with no one there except our daughter. This is what we wanted and I have no interest in big romantic gestures. That does not make a marriage
