Weddings: a celebration of love in front of your nearest and dearest, all of whom are there to be happy for you (and to eat the food, all of the lovely food).

Except some wedding guests seem to also enjoy walking that fine line between appropriate and inappropriate. Getting kind of drunk at the pre-reception drinks because man cannot live on canapes alone? Tolerated. Getting so hammered you’ve been sick by 1pm and fallen into the cake? Not so much.

Ditto complaints about the catering, busting in on the first dance without invitation and turning up in Daz-worthy white telling anyone who’ll listen it’s definitely cream.

Above and beyond all these minor wedding niggles though must surely be the limelight-stealing, attention-hogging drama that is the wedding proposal: those who get so carried away on someone else’s big day that they can’t wait a moment longer to start planning their own and have to pop the question to their beloved there and then (with the benefit of a crowd of onlookers and possibly a professional photographer).

This guy though – this guy went the whole hog. And the internet had something to say about that.
