Friends mocking my engagement :(

Your friends are ignorant twats. Congratulations

They are not your friends.

Do not have these friends as your bridesmaids. Not until they have had a serious chat with themselves.

he is incredibly happy about it, and keeps pointing out the road where it happened “that’s where I said I love you for the first time and asked you to be my wife”

💕 a beautiful proposal with special meaning for you both 💕

Your friends wanting an Instagram proposal, instead of the meaningful heartfelt proposal you had, sound immature.

Congratulations op.

Maybe elope, so they don’t ruin your wedding too!

Your fiance understands you do not like public proposals......and I don't blame you. He proposed to you in the best way he possibly could and your friends put their own preferances above yours which is why they were arrogant and belittled what should be an important and beautiful moment in yours and your fiances' life.

Don't let their arrogance and selfish attitudes put a downer on your wonderful news, rise above them and be happy together because that is what really matters here.

Congratulations to you and your fiance.💐🎊🥂🎉

Sounds perfect to me. Congratulations!

Well plenty on here are saying Congratulations. I agree those supposed friends are no doubt jealous. I wish you both all the best when you do get married.

Congratulations on your engagement! What a beautiful way for your fiance to do it! He sounds a wonderful and thoughtful man ☺️.

Your "friends" are jealous. A proposal like the one you had is much more romantic than a carefully curated one designed to be boasted about on Instagram. You need new friends. And congratulations!

He did it in a meaningful place and way for both of you. It was genuine and heartfelt , not some kind of tacky online performance. You “friends” sound bitter and jealous.

They sound jealous and shallow.
That’s my dream proposal - my husband did it publicly and I was mortified. It’s a private moment between you both, not a performance for others or content for social media.

Your friends sound like bitches

I think it was a lovely proposal. Have to say those ones you see where it's all done in public I find really attention seeking and show offy.

Your friends are idiots and don't sound particularly nice.

Sounds totally romantic!
My DH planned on proposing on our trip to Rome but instead popped out a question of sorts two weeks before in his very boring flat while we were watching TV on his ugly rented sofa…no ring or anything just a ‘you will marry me won’t you’? While I do kinda wish he had waited til we were in beautiful Rome it was special to me nevertheless!
Your friends are mean.

What age are they? They sound like 'mean girls' from high school!

They'fe likely just jealous. How awful of them to try and take the shine off your happy news. Is this what they're usually like?

Congratulations to you both! The proposal sounds perfect (I also got proposed to in my pyjamas!)

Get better friends

@UpShitsCreek Congratulations, that is the perfect proposal. Thoughtful and personal and it actually means something… the place where your fiancé first said he loved you. What could be better than that? He’s a keeper as he considered your feelings about not wanting a big show in front of people with some elaborate proposal, cos that’s what it is at the end of the day… people do this for others not themselves which is all a bit shallow really when you think about it! There was a thread here recently from someone who was distressed that her proposal wasn’t videoed so she could have posted it on Instagram! Your ‘friends’ are simply jealous and nothing else, are they in relationships btw? Were you thinking of asking them to be bridesmaids?

Congratulations 🎉 What very odd friends you have.

That’s a wonderful proposal! And so thoughtful! Not everything needs to be Instagram perfect which I’m guessing is what your shallow friends are referring to!
My DH proposed on the beach we had our first date on. My nails weren’t perfect my hair needed a wash and I was in my oldest comfort dress but it meant the world to me as he’d put some thought into it being special which sounds the same as you darling fiancé has done!
Comgratulations and here’s to a long and happy marriage 🥂

You beat me to it.

they aren’t true friends. I think that sounds really personal and romantic, really cute too.

this whole insta story engagement thing only started with social media and most are frankly ridiculous.

He sounds lovely and thoughtful! For what it’s worth, DH proposed to me on the Northern Line 20 odd years ago and it was pretty much ‘shall we get married’ 😂 He’s not one for grand gestures but I have absolute trust and faith in him.

Frankly I’d be taking their names off the wedding invite list. It sounds like a sweet and meaningful proposal from a person who loves you and knows that a flashy gesture is not for you. Whereas I’m not sure your supposed BFs ‘know’ you at all. I’d be getting some new ones.

Oh and many congratulations!

Do they have partners themselves could they be jealous and having a bad day and see your announcement as rubbing salt in their wounds.The last thing people want to hear about is romantic stories when they’ve just parted from someone or they’re experiencing unrequited love. However if that’s not the case they’re just arse holes
