OMG, this was a somewhat fear of mine, and i am an anti drama queen too, but SRSLY??!? no. haha.
reminds me of the scene from 'license to wed' when the proposal takes place at her parents' anniversary celebration.
I would have been pissed.. ughz people are always trying to take the shine away from others! lol
That's really annoying. You'd think he'd want to pick an appropriate time for that.
I hope that she explained to him why this would have been a really bad idea.
I would have tried to smile and make the most of it....but I would have had some private words with him later. Although being a guy he probably figured that all of the family would be together then so why not? LOL
??? Maybe I'm different, I would be ecstatic and sooo excited for them!!! LOL I'd be like omg eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee let's do the ring pose and compare etc and I'd toast to the new and happy couple!!! but I guess I'm really different about this?
@JamaicaBride: I think you're completely right, that is exactly what he was thinking.
To be clear, I am being a little jokey about this. I am thrilled that they got engaged, and even more thrilled that they didn't do it at my rehearsal dinner. But if it had happend, I of course would have been gracious about it. Mostly, I just think his cluelessness is hilarious! 
@crebre: I just think you're really good-natured and gracious. Good for you! :)
The rehearsal dinner is a party thrown in the couple's honor; he shouldn't make it about him! I'd be like crebre80 if they got engaged a little before and wanted to make a bigger announcement there, but what a scene-stealer, otherwise!
@jmc: really? lol perhaps so.. but i'd love for that to happen at my wedding, i'd already be sad that mine was done and the planning was over and then if someone else got engaged i'd be like EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I GET TO DO THIS AGAIN!! lol perhaps that's why i do what i do?? i am a diva, but not about things like that... now i get pissy with size-st people... i promise size 16s do look awesome in a mermaid/trumpet style dress and i think it's very size-st for people to say oh no they shouldn't wear this blah blah blah (but that's another subject for another post).....
Yeah....no. I guess it really would depend on my relationship with the couple getting engaged. But honestly, I'd be pissed either way. Maybe I'm just old school, but I'm not one for scene stealing. Do it a week before or a week after. Or even a DAY before/after. Just give me and my FI this ONE event to have for *us*. I would give my family/friends the same courtesy,
I wish there was an option to say "I wouldn't have really cared... at least not in a negative way."
I would just be happy for them
When will men ever learn? It isn't exactly a fun story for the girl either. "Where did he propose?" ... "Oh yeah at his cousin's rehearsal dinner." Just doesn't sound right.
it's kind of so crazy i think i would have felt more baffled and actually kind of embarrassed for them than angry!! ooohhhh i'm cringing as i write this...
lol, I would have been so shocked. I thought this actually happened and was angry for you! boys are so absentminded sometimes! ay yi yi!
I didn't vote for anything because there wasn't really a choice where it said that you would actually be happy for them.
Nothing against anyone else's reactions, but I think I would actually be really happy for them. It wouldn't bother me at all that it happened at my rehearsal dinner. In fact, I think it might be cool because all the family would be there to celebrate. I wouldn't be bothered in the slightest by this kind of thing happening.
I would def be irked, but wouldn't show it and take the high road. One of my BM's bf's is proposing some time before the New Year, he has promised me it won't be at my wedding, but it's still something I am slightly afraid of. I know he has more class than that, but you never know what people are going to do, lol.
I'd probably guffaw and go, "is this a joke?" really loudly, as that would be my natural reaction and I wouldn't be able to put the filter on.I could see our friends and family gawking and going "???" and it being awkward for them. More so for the bride--she'd probably be MORE mortified it was HER boyfriend proposing during another person's rehearsal dinner. Most women know that's a no-no but boys are clueless!
I would have been irked but definitely would not have shown it in order to avoid drama.
I have a nagging fear that my sister's boyfriend is going to propose to her at our wedding (they're both in the wedding party) Me and FI already warned him that this would be a bad idea but he's not the brightest crayon in the box, so....
I probably would have thought to myself "is this seriously happening???". I would be pissed but try my best not to show it (although I'm not very good at that). Some people are so clueless.
I voted the last three. I'd be openly happy for them, but secretly irked! And DEF would be glad it didn't happen to me!
Wow....he probably didn't realize that you don't do something major like proposing at somebody's rehearsal dinner! Maybe chalk it up to nerves?
I would have been royally pissed! But I wouldn't uninvite them cause thats bad etiquette.
This happened at my cousin's wedding rehearsal. Only it was the groom's brother that did the proposing!! It was kind of cool that the whole family was around for it, but I didnt think it was appropriate.
I'd be irked!
I know I should say I'd be oh so happy for them...and I would be, just not at my rehersal dinner!
It probably would have irked me, but then I'd be super excited!!

My FI's cousin proposed to his girlfriend over dinner a couple weeks ago. But I just found out that he had considered several different times that he could propose, including.... during our rehearsal dinner!
Can you imagine? I am a fairly relaxed bride, I thought, but I just about died when I heard this. Would you have died? How would you have reacted?
