The managers and directors of my department pool together to throw a big holiday lunch for the staff every year--catered food, yankee swap, trivia and karaoke. Silliness. Everyone really looks forward to it.
Mid meal, two staff members make a scene of putting a third staff member on a chair in front of everyone, opened a door, and this guy came out got on one knee AND PROPOSED TO HER.
AT HER COMPANY PARTY.
It. Was. Horrible. As soon as she saw him, her face went dead and she started to cry out for her bestie (who works on our floor) and she said no. He was begging her to stay and she ran out. The entire department scattered and the party was so dead. We ended up giving most of the food to the homeless shelter next door.
wait... she said NO??? H always says that he doesn't know a guy who would even ask a girl to marry him if they thought she would say no!
wow... way to be a holiday buzz kill. (not you, them.)
Yeah, seriously. Why on earth would you ask that question unless you were certain she was going to say yes!?
But I'm confused. Does the boyfriend also work for the company? How were her coworkers in on it? Was she upset about how he proposed or was she legitimately saying no? The whole thing is just weird.
My college BFF was proposed to in a similar way. She said yes but told me later she had been planning on breaking up with him. But they got married anyway. He was a total douche and cheated on her. They divorced after about six years. I still shake my head and wonder why she said yes and why we couldn't convince her not to do it. She did get two beautiful girls and a sweet, sweet alimony deal out of it. Lol
This reminds me that my H says before he decided to do a private, low-key proposal in the park, he thought he was going to show up at my university when I was getting out of class and bombard me in the engineering quad.

That is the worst! That poor, poor girl. I've always said that if someone proposed to me in public and I wasn't into it I'd just say yes and then break up with him quietly afterwards. I'd be so embarassed to return to the office after that.

Then you'd have to tell tons of co-workers (one or two at a time most likely) that there will be no wedding.
