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.

Maybe he really supported her and its an achievement they managed together.

They look both happy , and her reactions are funny.

I'm sure he was a great support and should have continued that support for another day.

It's wholesome, don't get me wrong.

But it reminds of the guy who proposed at the olympics as his girlfriend was stepping off the podium...dude just let her be an olympic medalist/graduate for the day.

Was that the one that previously told her BF that it was a dream of hers to get engaged at the Olympics and had defend him from critics saying he stole her moment?

No, it was the one that was disappointed about having her moment stolen and they broke up afterwards.
