I think I crashed a marriage proposal!

[heavenly]

Saturday, I was invited to go to an engagement party for a gay couple. They are the sweetest people I know but I wouldn’t say I am close to them, only through social events. I didn’t have the address so I texted the guy (the one who is proposing) who invited me. He was saying to show up before 5pm so I don’t miss the surprise or I would have to watch the video. Thinking he was going to propose in front of everyone so I said I wouldn’t want to miss it and watch the proposal in person! Then he proceeded to say that he is proposing at 4 in the garden area outside of their home before heading to the party. He says I was welcomed to watch. I told him I didn’t want to intrude and that was a private moment. He was like, I’d be honored if you came but it is all up to you. There will be other friends there too. I felt like I couldn’t turn him down.

So I showed up and there were only 3 other friends there. Thank goodness they all didn’t know each other well as that helped me blend in better. The wait ended up being an hour long outside in the cold wind but it was one of the best time ever getting to know them.

I felt like I popped in some one's life or kind of felt like I was a wedding crasher. This was not my intention at all. I still feel weirded out by it. The guy that propose to his lover, I let him know I felt like I was intruding and he says no, that he can tell I have a good heart by my personality and that good friends are not given but made. oooh okay...

The party was at a home and there were about 45 people. I had a hoot with them all, I never felt so welcomed, free, absolutely no judgment and etc. There are so many photos taken that I was in and it is posted all over facebook. Some people who were close were kind of miffed that they didn’t see the proposal in person because they were close friends. That just made me feel all sorts of bad.

Umm.. I just don’t know what to think of it lol! Have you ladies have anything like this happened to you?

The proposal happened an hour before the party? So the party was a surprise for the other half of the couple? Interesting.

Yes! The proposer generated a fake invitation for a very formal Company dinner for the couple to attend to get his fiancé to get all dressed up nicely.

After the proposal, he blindfolded his fiancé to the house party. The fiancé was thinking it was going to be a fancy restaurant and was shocked to be in a house full of friends.
