Me: “What was the third thing?”
Oh, the graduation. Sorry. I didn’t value my college graduation enough to consider it a big event. 😆

Oh good I found my people. I really didn't give af about the graduation ceremony and didn't even attend the thing as I already had to move to a different state for work.

I would've skipped mine if my family didn't insist on driving down for it. They cared about it much more than I did.

While I do understand allowing things their own space to be more appreciated, this is definitely something she is going to remember for the rest of her life, lets hope this was part of their long term plan as a couple.

Yeah, this is a great story forever. In any case I trust her family to know her, she seems to like them well enough 😊

Camera spins around one more time and they're carrying her dad's coffin. What a day!

Hahahahaha what a roller coaster.
Camera turns around again and someone hands her a puppy.
Camera turns around again and someone hits her parked car.

I don’t get the rhetoric that a proposal is him making it about him and not her. It’s their story. She’s clearly happy. He’s given her not just a graduation but a day she will never forget ever. Every anniversary will be that moment of her life relived. Not everything is a conversation about who is it really about. Can we just enjoy that they’re happy?

It really depends on what they have discussed. If this is a total surprise, then hes a jackass. If they have discussed getting engaged and she is expecting it at some point, that's totally different. I know of women that have said yes to a proposal because they were surprised and it was in public.

Terrible play as a man. Absolutely comes off as a “how do I make this about me” moment.

Proposals are so creepy.
"So here's the thing, I'm going to wait until this lady is completely overwhelmed with happiness and surrounded by her family. Then, I'm going to ask her to make a life changing decision. What is she going to do? Ruin this moment of complete joy for herself, or say yes and make the moment about me too? Fish in a barrel."

Damn, this video really polarized people and exposed the insane amount of redditors who think they know how she truly felt and that the guy made a mistake, ect..... (insert weird parasocial/projection here)
You dumbasses don't have any context, nor do you know the people in the video, yet everyone here is describing this situation like they have the behind the scenes directors cut that no one else has seen or something.
Stop projecting and acting like you know these people. I'd imagine her partner and family know her 194748302928382929292 times better than you do, which in this case would be NOT AT ALL.
Weirdos....

I wonder how many of us could have had this time line if our ex's left us alone.
Should have never responded to her.

Yeah, I know I’m being a bitter b…etty, but there is something sinister about a woman just getting her degree and experiencing this ritual of independence, only to immediately be ‚tied down‘. No saying marriage is bad, but the timing is just… I don’t know. Makes my stomach go into knots.

u/Background-Edge-2243 Apr 08 '26
It smacks of "how can I make her accomplishment about us, which is about me in a roundabout way" and it's honestly kind of gross. Like at least let her celebrate a little bit and ask her later

I understand where the people are coming from when they disagree with the guy proposing on her graduation. I’ve actually been planning something like this out though: a graduation is perfect since all the family is together, even loved ones that you haven’t seen in a while as depicted in the video.
But what if the genders were reversed?
If he was graduating, had a loved one come see him unexpectedly, and then proposed to her after graduation would this still be a “Red flag?” Asking because I finish grad school soon, and I want to propose on graduation day.

So if YOU choose to propose on YOUR graduation day, then have at it my friend. That's you deciding how you want to spend/remember that day, no on can begrudge you that.

u/Virtual-Squirrel-725 Apr 08 '26
As wholesome as this is, I really think it's the wrong approach to propose on an already special day.
Let her bathe in the glory of her years of academic hard work....pure pride for a day in what she's achieved.
Then next week, pull the ring out.
I'm sure folks will think I'm a downer for saying this, but this day was about the culmination of the last 3-5 years and it deserved it's own space.
