With mixed emotions and a sense of betrayal, she found herself confronting him about his supposed romantic gesture.
However, he dismissed her concerns which only exacerbated the already awkward situation.
We’ve got a freak on the loose!
A freak who sets up an entire wedding for someone who hasn’t even agreed to marry them yet!
What could possibly go wrong!
In her own words, @Unexpectedlymarried recounts the moment she realized what was happening.
Last week, I was invited to a supposedly fancy party by my longtime boyfriend Mark.
While we had discussed marriage before, there were no immediate plans for a wedding.
Excited about the event, I dressed up in my best attire and arrived at the designated venue.
It turns out, Mark had orchestrated an elaborate surprise wedding for us without my knowledge.
Absolute worst case scenario.
Do you know how many times I’ve “discussed marriage” with someone?
I’d be married 20 times over by now if they all ACTUALLY proposed.
Imagine if he had?
This goes for the megatron kiss cams and proposal cams too - BAD idea.
You’re either uncomfortable, or you’re an amazing actor.
Everyone erupted into applause as I stood there, shocked and overwhelmed.
I just felt a mix of emotions.
Don’t peer pressure me into marrying you!
However, it didnt go down with Mark, who thought she would be thrilled by the gesture.
Now, Mark and both their families and friends believe she overreacted and spoiled a beautiful moment.
But she holds true that marriage should be a joint decision, with open communication and shared expectations.
Everyones excuse for this is I have always talked about marrying Mark.
I cannot express how proud I am of this girl for standing her ground.
If this guy Mark knew her at all, he’d know she’d hate something like this.
Anyone who pressures you about marriage and a wedding need to mind their own fucking business.
Overall, everyone sympathized with the OP, acknowledging her concerns and need for a say in the wedding.
One top comment, with 20k upvotes, said, Get the hell out of that relationship.
Another shared: NTA.
Id also be asking all my family and friends if they knew about this.
Who told this man this was a good idea?!?
You didnt overreact, you didnt make a bad call, you didnt do anything wrong.
Your response was your body/mind telling you that this was not okay.
Anyone who thinks you ruined this is not someone who has your best interests in mind.
I’m with these people.
It could eventually become a big joke, but I foresee it blowing up in flames tbh.
His ego won’t be able to handle this.
Once you start wasting someone’s money, they’re not going to forgive so easily.
Now you have twice the bills and an emasculating moment to share forevermore.
What do we think this dude is going to decide to do?
