Groomsman's 'unbelievable' act at best mate's wedding

A man’s decision to propose to his girlfriend at his best friend’s wedding has garnered a surprising reaction from social media users.

Footage of the proposal, which was shared to TikTok, shows the bride preparing to throw her bouquet on the steps of the venue – only to turn and walk toward a friend in the crowd.

The friend hugs the bride – who then spins her around to face her boyfriend, who is down on one knee, much to the excitement of the other guests.

“Watch one of our best friends get engaged to her boyfriend of 10 years,” a caption overlaying the video, uploaded by user Emma Humphries, reads.

The clip has gone viral on the platform – with hundreds of people taking to the comments to share how they’d react if the same thing happened on their big day.

The overwhelming majority said they’d be nothing but excited.

“If my bestie got engaged at my wedding I’d be like, yasss (sic) double celebrations. I don’t get the hate,” one wrote.

“I’ve got no idea why someone would be mad if it was their bestie. Mind boggling. Like I’d be chuffed to do this,” a second agreed.

To which Ms Humphries responded: “The bride and I actually happened to have this conversation months ago before this was planned. We both said we would LOVE for it to happen.”

“People act like the bride didn’t know – I LOVE these videos! Such a special moment for everyone,” a third commented.

Others said it was proof of what “real supportive friendship is”.

“What a beautiful bride to let this happen on her special day that a good lady congratulations,” one said.

“Love it that the bride (assuming groom too) were in on it and happy to share their special day. Congrats to everyone!” a second wrote.

While there were those who admitted they’d be less than impressed if such a thing took place at their own wedding, even they acknowledged how special a moment it was.

“I know I’m very selfish, but I just couldn’t do it,” one wrote.

“How sweet tho (sic).”

“I could never,” a second said, “but good for them.”
