Friends mocking my engagement :(

Congratulations Op. It sounds really lovely and perfect for you.
Don’t let them rubbish your wedding plans.

They are not youre friends and they are clearly jealous.

Congratulations 🎊. I think it was a lovely proposal and if you have children they will love seeing and hearing about the road their dad proposed in. Ignore your so called friends. Have fun planning your wedding & don't ask them to be bridesmaids.

Sounds to me that he is a lovely man and gave the proposal a great deal of consideration. He sounds romantic and thoughtful. U have a lovely fiancee congratulations OP he will make a fantastic husband. Your friends sound shallow ignore them!

CONGRATULATIONS!
Your engagement sounds perfect, really sweet and thoughtful.

My husband proposed to me to his mothers attic when we were bringing down Christmas decorations, not the most romantic but it’s definitely memorable - almost 17years married.

jealous beatches

maybe leave out the bit about being in your pyjamas in future storytelling

Just because you've known people for a long time, it doesn't mean they are genuinely your friends. Those women have no manners! If they truly cared about you, they would have been kind and not pissed all over your joy.

I think his proposal was romantic and sweet. And it shows he knows you.

Any idiot can propose at the top of the Eiffel Tower or in a crowded restaurant - it shows no imagination. Performative proposals are about showing off so that other people think they have a deep relationship. What your fiance did was authentic to your relationship.

Jealous bitches, fuck the pair of them and super Congratulations to you and your fiancé….sounds like a magical proposal…be happy xxxx

I remember that from M Fair Lady.

I’d be seriously questioning my judgement in people if my best friends had suddenly, after years of never having displayed such awful behaviour, suddenly all chose this moment to behave like this.

The song On the street where you live by Nat King Cole comes to mind . 😊

So many of these posts should say “friends” not friends. I think it sounds lovely: mine was similarly low key, thank f.

This. In spades.
It was a lovely, thoughtful romantic proposal.
Wishing you all the best for a very long and happy marriage.

It was a beautiful proposal, and congratulations.

Your friends are horrible, and they would be ex-friends if this happened to me.

He thought it through, he planned what to do, he bought a ring, he actually followed through and proposed. Not to mention remembering where he first said I love you. Also he listened to you and respected your preferences re not doing a showy proposal. You were on cloud 9 so he got it just right because he knows you and loves you.
That is 7 big fat boxes ticked.
Many, many men do not manage that.

Congratulations, thats lovely.

If you love some one it really doesn’t matter how they propose, my husband asked me when we were in bed (not sexual!), it was no more or less special than any other type of proposal.

Um this. They obviously don't understand anything about what marriage is about so you can safely dismiss their opinions.

I think it sounds incredibly sweet (but then my DH proposed by saying one day while lying in bed just as I was drifting off to sleep: "so should we get married then?" 😆)

That sounds like a perfect proposal to me.

My proposal happened on my living room floor, half way through quiz show, a few minutes after my husband got home from work, so the fact you got taken out for a drive is a treat in my eyes 🤣

It sounds romantic, special and thoughtful so tell your friends to fuck off.

Many congratulations!!!

THIS. It’s romantic and meaningful for you and your fiancé. That’s enough. Not everyone wants a choreographed, set designed, Instagram friendly event. Your friends may prefer a Hollywood proposal, but that’s their taste, not yours. And there’s no guarantee that a movie perfect proposal or wedding ensures a lasting marriage.

What your fiance did was romantic. It seems like he thought of it himself, whereas elaborate proposals are probably stuff people have looked up on the Internet.

You had the sweetest and most sincere proposal ❤️ congratulations!!
Those are not your friends, don't invite them to your wedding.
They are not princesses and I feel sorry for any guy they hook up with as they will never be enough.
Enjoy your engagement'

It’s a damn good job your future husband knows you better than your ‘friends’. Bin them off and find people who actually care about you.

congratulations! 🥂 It sounds like you have a great man there, all the best for a wonderful life together

feel pity for your friends they are sick with jealousy

Obvious jealous bitches are obvious.

Congratulations @UpShitsCreek

Congratulations, that's a beautiful proposal from the heart, I expect your 'friends ' would want something more performative. At least you know there's 2 people not to invite to your beautiful wedding day.
