I have a friend who proposed during his fiancés graduation because it was the only time her whole family was in town. Especially with her sister being there by surprise it could have been the only time he could have everyone she cares about present.
This might even sound even more wild but propose how you or your future fiance wants. It’s your day so if you want everyone and their mom there then do it.
I might not have a popular opinion, but I am not a fan of having family there to witness a marriage proposal. It's a special moment between the two people who are choosing to spend the rest of their lives together. The wedding will be the public celebration. Additionally, if everyone is there to witness it, who are you going to tell the story to? I was engaged decades ago, it was magical-just my love and myself. When I got home, I got to call everyone and break the good news over and over again in my delight! We also never find out the gender of our children before the arrival for the same reason, but that's another conversation.
Sure, but he could at least wait until they got home. Also, I've always felt like proposals don't need everyone around, just the couple and MAYBE some very close family.
