Friends mocking my engagement :(

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!!!

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?" 😆)

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.

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.

It was a beautiful proposal, and congratulations.

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

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

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

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

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.

I remember that from M Fair Lady.

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

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 beatches

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

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.

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 🎊. 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.

They are not youre friends and they are clearly jealous.

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

Ditch the so-called best friends. They're not! How horrible and unkind.
Congratulations to you - it sounds like the perfect proposal to me 💜

Perhaps you should tell them their response was pretty mean. Not everyone wants a film production instagram proposal. You could say you were thrilled with the way it went and you're sad they can't share in your happiness and are making fun of you. It says more about them than you.

Jealous.

Congratulations 🥂 and ignore your so called friends. Their behaviour is childish and uncalled for. It was a lovely thing your boyfriend did. Very sweet.

Ive always found couples with big shows for things like engagements are far less likely to have deep long lasting relationships. My husband proposed watching tv, no ring yet, and we just celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary on Friday.

Wishing you all the best for the future ❤️

Congratulations - you sound like my daughter who got engaged in March - a big public proposal would be her idea of hell - they went to a place where they hike together with the dog and he proposed there - she was over the moon
Your fiance knows you and found a place that was meaningful to you both - your so called friends are awful and utterly jealous of your happiness

They are not friends.

congrats!

Congratulations on your engagement.

Commiserations on your friends. Sorry OP, really unkind of them. I think their reactions suggest you have grown apart and no longer share values.
