God, people are so self-obsessed these days! Absolutely no sense of shared joy, community or togetherness. If I were the bride I woUld be extremely flattered that someone thought my wedding romantic and special enough to spur them on to propose to their own partner.
I can only think that brides that would hate that are attention-seeking and hate the idea of the attention moving off them (I blame Hello magazine culture for this one), or else they genuinely have slightly crazed and jealous relatives or friends who also want some attention and that's the only reason they're doing it.
For most people, I would have thought iT's done because they are starry-eyed and enjoying the romance of witnessing the wedding vows and the love the couple have for each other etc. Everyone loves romance, share the love and joy, I say!
Don't get the problem with announcing pregnancy after sibling just gave birth. My sister announced her pregnancy a few weeks before I gave birth and I was thrilled - was thinking of the future shared family outings etc. Even better if it had happened on the day I gave birth. Would have been the icing on the family cake!
But then some families are wierd and not close. I have a wierd in-law who dropped everyone the minute her DD wasn't the only grandchild in the family. She actually said once that she loved being pregnant because she liked all the attention it got her.
Wierd, I tell you, wierd.
Share the love, people!
