my cousin wants to propose to his gf at my e-party TONIGHT! (Updated again on page 3)
Original post by jasminemichelle
I just wrote a long post and it deleted itself. Here we go again:
My e-party is tonight and I just found out from my sister that our cousin is planning to propose to his gf tonight at my party. It's a big surprise, but he's very close with my sister. She told him she didnt think it was the best idea, but he is adament about it and said he's been planning this for a long time since a lot of our family will be there. I'm upset because he always manages to be the center of attention and I want tonight to be abot me and my fiance, not my cousin and his.
I'm not supposed to know about any of this because my cousin made my sister promise not to tell anyone so he can keep it a surprise. Can I ask him not to do it? Can I ask him not to come? My sister does NOT want me to mention anything to him because then he will know she blabbed. How do I keep this from ruining my night? I'm having severe anxiety about this and I'm going to be thinking about it constantly.
Am I being crazy here? Please help me

OK, so our e-party was lots of fun.
A lot of my relatives were congratulating them throughout the night but there was no big announcement.
our party was definitely about US, so they couldnt completely steal the show. of course it ***** and im still pissed at him, but they better not try to get married on our date! We'll have to see what date they pick....
I *did* seat them at the kids table though! it was my own personal revenge. i kind of feel bad for his fiance because she looked embarrassed and confused, but it was worth it. (the kids table was age 5-16 and they are 23).
the best part of the night was when my dad's elderly aunt went up to my cousin and said -- 'you proposed right before jassie's engagement party? why would you do that?' LOL

I agree...I feel a little bad for his fiance too. She didn't plan the engagement and we all know how excited we were after the proposal. She must have felt a little awkward. Now that it's over with, let her in on LIW. Your cousin on the other hand is so selfish! He should never have done that without asking you first.
Your aunt is awesome. I'm sure she was not the only one thinking that! I'm happy you still had a great time and that no announcements were made.

I agree your cousin was a jerk and your aunt rightfully called him out on it. But why did you punish her for his actions by seating them both at the kids' table?

You are totally not being crazy, that is soooo rude!! It is your night your engagement party, you don't want it to turn into a celebration of his new engagement. My FSIL went through something similar, she found out that her sister's BF was going to propose at their wedding, during her MOH speech. My FSIL was so pissed, and told him that it was her and her DH day and it would be extremely rude and inappropriate to do that. What she said was a little harsh but it worked. He didn't do it them, he ended up proposing the weekend before.
Anyway, I would definitely say something if I were you. It is YOUR night!

She already responded.... her party was last night, and her cousin ended up proposing right before the party.
